    This week you should spend some time learning the new vocabulary on our google classroom page as well as a link to a quizlet to help learn these words. 

    Task:

    Your first task is to make labels for each of these words and then place them on these items around your house. Ask your parents first and make sure you use blue tack or something that won't damage anything. Take a photo of some of these items with labels on them and upload onto our google classroom. For items not on our vocaulary list, you can use the Māori Dictionary OR there is a great app on the google playstore called "kupu" that will also allow you to take a photo of an item and then it will tell you the Māori word for it.

    Karawhiua! Go Hard!
