Magnificent Maori

Kia Ora! Today, we will talk about Māori. Our goal is to make Māori conversations with each other. I have made a slideshow of a Māori conversation. It uses words like Ika (Fish), Awa (river), and other words. I have learnt lots of new words, and I hope you will learn some stuff, too. 


Ko wai tō ingoa? = What is your name?
Ko ___ Tōku ingoa = My name is ____
Awa = river
Nō hea koe? = where are you from?
No Ōtautahi ahau = I am from Christchurch
Tāonga = treasure
Maunga = mountain
Ika = Fish
kia ora = goodbye!

Are YOU from Otautahi?
What is your favourite Mounga?
What is Your favourite Awa?
What is your Taonga?

Kia Ora!

Baby Eszter

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. I have got some exiting news! my baby sister was born. Read on!


 On Monday, 15th of February, my new baby sister, Eszter was born. Me and my siblings couldn't see her just yet, because of covid 19. and maybe because she had a c section. we couldn't even meet her in the recovery room about 4 hours later! When they finally got her into a room on the fifth floor, we found out that the only children who were allowed to go inside were siblings. That was a close call, because it was about 5 percent that they were going to let us in. 

Your probably wondering why I spell Eszter's name like that. Well, my parents come from a different country. It is called Hungary. You might not have heard about it. My mum grew up in Budapest, And dad grew up in Pazmand. Pretty hard to pronounce, right?                                                                                  Guess what. My name is Izabella. My name is spelt differently too. Even my Nickname, Izzy. In hungary, things are spelt how they sound. 

Anyway, Baby Eszter was soo cute! She was there, huddled up to mum like a helpless wrinkled baby bird! I got to cuddle her first. She fell asleep in my arms, so when it was my brothers turn, mum said that we wont wake the sleeping baby, but just then, Eszter woke up. So Eszter went to mum to breastfeed, because she was so loud. 

I love my siblings
