Te Reo Maori Language

This book encourages us to think differently about rubbish, by looking at new ways to reuse, repurpose and recycle. 

It includes:

• Repetitive sentence structure: “Taihoa, e hoa. Whakaaro anō.” (Wait, my friend. Think again.)


• Te reo vocabulary for ways to reuse, repurpose and recycle items instead of discarding them


• Waste hierarchy diagram


• Singalong CD or audio download which turns the book into a catchy song, with whistling!


• English translation


• List of activity ideas to make this much more than a fun book to do on the mat!


• Guitar chords


• Music also available for download on SOUNDCLOUD
