Te-Reo-Maori

Maori

Kei hea te kuri           Kei hea a Miss Willamson? 

Where is the dog?                 Where is Miss Willamson?

Our teacher Miss Willamson handed out this Moari word sheet.

If its a person its a exg: Kei hea a Miss Wilamson like I did at the top. If you're looking for something its te for exg: Kei hea te kuri like I did at the top.

The easy part was writting the words down on the sheet because the words were up on the tv screen
