Reflection

Adding mahi-a-ringa helped tamariki to remember the kupu for long and short hands. As well as the mahi for each hand. Tamariki really enjoyed playing 'He aha te wā tā wuruhi'.

Tino teina struggled with the create task. I needed to change their mahi to just completing a match up task created by a tuākana. They were able to feel success within this task.

Things to note

This is our seventh lesson in a four week unit. Tamariki engaged in 20 - 30 minute lessons four days a week.
