Māori Language Week

Emelyn McHardy Reporter from Franklin County News

Kia Ora Neighbours,
It's te wiki o te reo Māori.

Here at Stuff we're celebrating Māori Language Week by learning some daily te reo Māori words we can use in our every day life.

For example one of our words today was hoa meaning friend/s.
And e hoa mā means group of friends.

How are you celebrating or acknowledging te wiki o te reo Māori?

Some places have organised a Māori Language Week parade.
Should Franklin do something similar?

What does Māori Language Week mean to you?

Let us know in the comments below and share some more te reo Māori words that we can add to our vocabulary.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
