Thank you to Windsor Park Baptist Church for creating this resource, which we are reproducing each day with permission. It was originally made as a booklet by WindsorCreative with visual identity adapted from reomaori.co.nz resources.

Te Wiki o te Reo Mu0101ori, or Mu0101ori Language Week, is an annual campaign promoting te reo as New Zealandu2019s language and a language for all New Zealanders. Every year, whu0101nau from across Aotearoa New Zealand, including organisations, schools, workplaces and homes are encouraged to give te reo Mu0101ori a go. This year is the theme of u201cKia Kaha Te Reo Mu0101oriu201d (Making the Language Stronger). A good whakatauku012b (Mu0101ori proverb) for learning te reo Mu0101ori is u201cPoipoia te kakano kia puawaiu201d (Nurture the seed and it will blossom).

At Windsor Park Baptist Church, weu2019re on a journey to learn te reo Mu0101ori as part of acknowledging it as an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand since 1987, and that the first sermon preached in New Zealand by Rev Samuel Marsden at Hohi (Oihi) Beach in the Bay of Islands on Christmas Day 1814 was simultaneously translated into te reo Mu0101ori by the Ngu0101puhi leader, Ruatara, as few people could understand English. We encourage you to do as the whakatauku012b says above by trying to use or learn the daily exercises that will be reproduced on the Baptist NZ website and app each day, Monday through Friday (11-15 September).
