  • Child 1: ‘Ka moe a Ranginui’

Te Whānau a Tamanuiterā (SoundCloud)

By Wai, from the album Ora.

What you do

• Talk with students about how Tānerore is related to Tamanuiterā and Hine Raumati; his role as the god of haka; and how you know when he is present (te kārohirohi).
• Take photos of students in front of a light background in a haka stance. 
• Print onto A3 paper, (greyscale).
• Do an art activity where they paint around the silhouette in yellows, oranges and reds to represent the shimmering of Tānerore in summer, dancing for his mother Hine Raumati.
• Have an ‘Art Appreciation’ conversation once all the pictures are completed and the paint has dried, asking key questions:

• • What did you enjoy most about this activity?
  • What do you like best about your picture?
  • What do you know now that you didn’t know before?
     

Haka

• Students stand in a circle, with one student in the middle. That student does a haka action e.g. stamping the foot, slapping thighs, raising hands – the rest follow. Group repeats action until another student runs into the middle, tags the person and starts a new action.
• Use the words of the karakia for a haka. Organise students into 4 groups. Give each group a set of lines from the karakia.
• Each group comes up with appropriate actions for the four parts of the haka:

1. Nā Urutengangana
   Ko Tamanuiterā
2. Nā Tamanuiterā
   Ko Tānerore
3. E tū i te tū a Tānerore
   E haka i te haka a Tānerore
4. Kia ihi
   Kia wehi
   Kia wana e!

• Groups practise their section with words and actions. All groups then come together and perform their respective parts of the new haka in order. Each group teaches the wider group their section.
• Discuss whether the parts all work together, or whether they need to adjust parts to work better. 

Note

• You could get older students to help facilitate each group.
• You could involve both boys and girls, or have boys and girls work separately and see what they come up with. 

E tū i te tū a Tānerore

E tū i te tū a Tānerore, E haka i te haka a Tānerore.  

• Tell the story of Tānerore again to explain the meaning of the whakataukī.
• Teach the whakataukī as a pao for the girls and as a mini-haka for the boys.
• Have students practise using the pao and haka iti during class kapa haka sessions to build their confidence for using in a more public forum.
• Explain that this whakataukī is perfect for acknowledging individuals and groups who have excelled (in their eyes) at kapa haka, e.g. at a kura performance for the whānau. 

Tītī Tōrea 

• Whakamāramatia atu ngā tūwāhi ki ngā ākonga. Hei tauira: taha matau, taha mauī, mua, runga, raro.
• Whakaakona atu ngā tākaro pai hei whakapūmau i tō rātou mōhio ki ēnei tū kupu. Hei tauira:
  • Hei Tama, Tū Tama

  • He whai kāpō i tētahi ara kua tohua, he nui ngā whakararu kua whakatūria ki taua ara. 

Ngā mahi

• Hoatu te peita whero me te kōwhai ki ngā ākonga hei whakapaipai mā rātou i ā rātou tītī tōrea (arā, ko ngā tae o Tamanuiterā).
• Me whakamātau e rātou ngā momo karaka e taea ana te mahi mai ki te whero me te kōwhai, mā te whakaranu i ngā peita e rua nei.
• Ka peitahia ngā tītī tōrea, ka waiho kia maroke.
• Whakaaturia atu te tītī tōrea ki ngā ākonga, me te whakamahi anō i ngā tūwāhi i whakamāramatia ake i te tīmatanga o te mahi nei.
