A Song to Finish the Colour Poem Project

The colour poem project has come to an end. 
For our final contribution we would like to sing a song about the colour names in Måori.

Mā is white,
whero is red,
kākāriki green
Pango is black,
Mangu is too,
A. E. I. O. U.

Kōwhai yellow,
parauri brown,
kikorangi blue
Mawhero pink
Karaka orange,
A. E. I. O. U.


Some of us are wearing pink for Pink Shirt Day - a day where people stand up against bullying.

Do you know some colour words in another language?

  2. Here are some colours from other languages that the students in B5 speak...
    Hope knows that 'rose' is pink in French.
    'Bái' is Chinese for white.
    'Naarangee' is Hindi for orange.
    'Kaalo' is Gujarati for black.
    'A-ni2 youn2' is Burmese for red.

    Interesting words!
