Kia ora koutou,

As many of you will know, the CAS/TataurangaKiTeKura questionnaire is available in te reo Māori so children in bilingual and immersion units can make the most of it.

What you may not know is that we are working on adapting and translating our existing English-language resources for the reo-Māori classroom to ensure that we are as relevant as possible to as many classrooms as possible. We have already completed several and you will find them if you use “te reo Māori” as a search phrase.

We have also produced a bilingual leaflet – in English on one side and Māori on the other – about the benefits of CAS, and it will be given out at meetings of kaiako pāngarau (maths teachers) at various hui over the next few months. The leaflet is here – feel free to make use of it. Tēnā rawa atu koutou!
