Room 12B's Mihimihi

Lately we have been putting together and learning our Mihi.

Mihimihi are introductory speeches which take place at the beginning of a gathering after the more formal powhiri. Mihimihi involve individuals standing to introduce themselves by sharing their whakapapa (genealogy, ancestral ties) Maori people use the mihi as a way of making connections with one another.

Everyone is room 12B has a Mihi and has given it to the class. We also created digital presentations. Here is George's:

  1. Kia Ora George!

    Knowing how to mihimihi is an excellent skill for a young New Zealander. You have made a really cool presentation. Next year when you are year 8 you will get to visit Matahiwi. Have you already been there? It is a taonga for our school community.
