5th Birthday Celebration!
Online Kapa Haka is turning five this year! and We’ve got FOUR birthday presents up for grabs…
To be in the draw:
-Bring at least one class from your school to a live zoom prize draw
-Prize draws will be held week 7, 8, 9 and 10 this term.
-You’ve gotta be there to be in it, no attendance, no entry!
And even if your name doesn’t come out of the hat… every subscribing school gets a present of their own at the end of term, timed for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. (It’s the most powerful tool we’ve built yet for bringing te reo and kapa haka to life at your kura.)
Keep an eye out for the Zoom dates, and let’s celebrate together five years of bringing te ao Māori to life!
New Matariki Waiata
Celebrate Matariki with your class with this simple new waiata- reflect, renew and look ahead with excitement!
The Living Reo School's Program
New Waitangi Waiata
Here’s a brand new waiata to mark Waitangi day 2026 and reflect on what Te Tiriti means to your class and kura.
How to maximise your subscription- Hui Replay
Check out the recording of our latest zoom. It was all about maximising the resource! We played a simple warm up game, went through a checklist to ensure you or your colleagues get the most out of Online Kapa Haka and got tips from real teachers using Online Kapa Haka in their classroom daily.
Watch the hui and download the resources below!
Two brand new waiata added....
Re-live the action! Live zoom to 2000+ Kids
Matariki resource pack
Kia ora e hoa mā! I’m excited to share around 25 videos for you to enjoy as we celebrate this special occasion. One highlight is a mini-series called Ngā Waiata o te Pō, featuring four episodes about friends camping and looking for stars, complete with music and interviews with talented kids. I’ve also included a beautiful waiata written by Troy Kingi along with an activity sheet and a song called Mahara Mai that connects with the themes of Matariki.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on these videos, so please feel free to reach out with any questions, and I wish you a safe and happy Matariki with your whānau!
Brand new Module released!
All about colours, days and seasons- check out Module 2 of Pihi aimed directly at our year 0 – 2 Students. Enjoy singing, learning and playing in module 2!
New Te Reo Progressions Released: PIHI
I’ve been on the road quite a bit the past few months and furiously editing the next level of our Te Reo Māori Lesson Progressions. These build on Kākano, which means seed and are aptly called “Pihi” which means to sprout.
I’m REALLY proud of how these are coming out; take a sneak preview of the first lessons here:
New Song Released
Last term we welcomed a few new schools from our waitlist with this new waiata “Ka Poipoia”. I had the privilege of working with the kaitito/writer Rob Ruha on a couple of Disney Reo Māori films and I’m stoked to be able to share this beautiful waiata with you all!
April 1st Subscriber Hui recording now live
We had a great session with a mixture of school’s who’ve been with us since the beginning and some who’ve just joined recently.
We talked about the vision for Online Kapa Haka, getting clear on your school’s success outcome with Te Ao Māori and introduced a new framework to help teachers feel empowered to include Te Reo and Waiata in the classroom: Iti, Kimi, Ako.
New Facebook Community!
We also created a Facebook page for all subscribing teachers who are using Online Kapa Haka.
This is a community share, compare ideas and get help from us and other schools other as we navigate the same journey. You can join up here
