Term 3 Week 8 - Monday

Nau mai, haere mai to another wonderful day of learning in Year 0/1 at Elm Park School. Here are

today’s tasks;

Literacy:

Reading:

Click on the link below to listen to Mrs Kirby reading the Maori legend “Battle of the Mountains”. If you

watch until the end of the video you will also see the students from Room’s 3 and 6 retelling the story.

They worked really hard putting this together to share at an assembly that was scheduled during the

lockdown. So we hope you enjoy their efforts.

After listening to today’s story you might like to retell your favourite story to someone in your bubble or

over the phone/ Zoom etc.

Writing:

This week we are learning to stretch our sentences by including the 5 W’s in our writing (who, what,

when, where, why).

Can you retell the story of the Battle of the Mountains? Include as many of the 5 W’s as you can. You

might be able to write these ideas down independently or you might like to share them with someone

in your bubble who could help you to write your sentence. Just do your best. :)

Numeracy:

Because it is Maori Language Week, today we are going to learn to count to 10 in Te Reo Maori.

Science:

Today we are learning how to describe the weather in Te Reo Maori. Click on the link below

Visual Art:

Weaving is a living art form passed down from the ancestors and a strong symbol of the survival of

Māori culture. Check out the website below to learn how to do some paper weaving.

Health and Physical Education:

Today we are learning the Te Reo Maori names for certain parts of our bodies. Click the link below to

hear a popular song you will likely know in English being performed in Te Reo Maori.

Thank you so much for learning with us today. Tune back in tomorrow for some more distance

learning lessons with your Year 0/1 teachers. :)
