Te Wiki O Te Reo Maaori

One of the events of the week was K3's visit to the Rotorua Public Library - Whare Pukapuka o Te Rotorua.

Sue Heke, marketing manager from the library, told us, "Rotorua Library ran a very successful Te Wiki o Te Reo Maaori programme highlighting Maaori place names, especially in the Rotorua area.  But definitely the highlight of the week was the visits by thirteen local schools and kohanga reo who performed for library visitors and then were taken on tours of the library.  It was a win/win for all concerned and the organisers were delighted with the school children who performed beautifully and were so well behaved.  A huge thank you to all ngaa tamariki and kaiako from the library staff!"

Emma Sayers, the Teens Library specialist, took these video which she shared with us:
