Scenario
This reomation features Te Awarangi’s birthday. His mum makes a cake, while he plays with Piripi. Then we see a balloon being placed in the middle of the ring cake. When the whānau begins to sing Happy Birthday wishes, the balloon pops and the cake explodes! Luckily, Mum has made another cake in reserve.
My birthday
Language Focus
One of the language foci in this reomation is the use of the particle ‘Ko ...’; it is used to specify, for example, Ko taku huritau (It’s my birthday).
We also introduce useful words like ‘anei ...’ meaning ‘here is ...’; ‘māu’ (for you); and ‘taku’ (my).
Notice the use of ‘māua ko ...’ to say ‘me and someone else’, for example, ‘māua ko Piripi’ (me and Piripi).
At the end, you will hear a version of the waiata Happy Birthday.
