Personally Cleave.Dylan at the Palmerston Library and the never-ending gigs at the London as in the Poster below. Most requested songs over the year at the London gigs; Song for Sally-for Sally Rodwell- an amazingly well known performer, mention Red Mole or Sally and someone in the audience will connect, Dylan's She Belongs to me, Lennon's Stand by me- with refs to Ike and Tina Turner's version and Goodnight Blue about the Police leaving Ruatoki after what happened in 2006.

So we have

naming words

doing words

and

describing words

He whare roa. A long house.

roa is the describing word and it comes AFTER the noun, whare.

Look, we've unpacked an adjective!

Find the adjective in the following sentences;

He hooiho pai tena. That's a good horse.

He waka hou teenei. This is a new car.

Write sentences on cards using the adjectives, roa, pai and hou.

Make a Mobile with two examples of adjectives.

Set up an Adjective Box and put this alongside the Noun Box so that it follows on.

Sometimes the first part of the word is reproduced as in

He whare roa.
A long house.
He whare roroa.
Long houses.

This usually happens when the adjective follows a plural noun.

About the author.
It is said that Peter Cleave has more books in New Zealand Libraries than any other author. Beginning as a collaborator on The Oxford Picture Dictionary of Maori in 1979 there has been a consistent pattern of a book published, an article in a refereed journal and then a radio commentary repeated over a long period. With this pattern of published work have come the prizes; the First Class Masterate from Auckland University and a Commonwealth scholarship to the University of Oxford, the Phillip Bagby Scholarship and Rhodes Foundation funds while doing the Oxford Doctorate, the chair of the college common room and on from these to taking the prizes for best paper at conferences like the International Federation of Social Workers in Montreal in 2000.

Peter Cleave is without peer at the meeting place of language, culture and criticism, locally and internationally and this is seen in the sale of his books to libraries in New Zealand and Australia and around the world.

At the same time Peter Cleave, a former captain of the Manurewa High School First Fifteen in South Auckland, works on community radio and touches base with working people. He left school to work on the MV Tofua, a Banana Boat and began to learn about the Pacific, something he is still doing.
