Maori Word Find

This Week is week 2 of term 4 and I am really enjoying the Maori word find task. The WALT was to understand and locate the te reo words. Use the te reo words to create an imaginary pikitia. There were 2 tasks, the first task was to complete a word find made up of Te Reo Maori words. The words you had to find were the names of some birds such as the Kakapo, Kea, Ruru, Tui, And a couple more as well. Once you had completed the word find you were able to move on to the second task. The goal for the second task was to draw a picture out of Maori words a few of the Maori words were kapua which means cloud, awa which means river, and rakau which means wood.  So that was basically the explanation of the Maori task in our literacy contact thank you for reading.

Conservation Research.

As we return to school we get back into the learning mood. This week we were given a conservation literacy contract, one of the tasks was to research about a conservation topic, once you had collected all of the research you had to create a poster for the public to inform the reader of harmful damages contributing to your topic. The topics you could choose were animals, estuaries, coastal, fresh water, plants, and marine. The topic I choose was Animals. Some of the questions we had to answer and include in our poster was How can we help? What are the issues? Who are the predators? So that is one of the tasks in our conservation literacy contract.
