Māori colours

This week Jackson's Studio (Rm18) learnt some colours in Māori.

Here are the colours in Māori:

Whero = Red       
Karaka = orange        
Kōwhai = yellow
kāriki = green
Kikorangi = blue
Tawa = purple
Māwhero = pink
Pango = black
= white
Parauri = brown

This is how you ask and answer some questions about colours.

He aha te tae o tēnā? He aha te tae o tenēi?
(What is that?) (What colour is this?)

He __________tēnā He ____te tae o tēnā

(It is __________). (It is __________).

This is a Māori colour song that can help us quickly learn the Māori colours.
