Mathematics
Geometry
Pattern recognition
Shape recognition
Symmetry
Identifying sorting shapes
Measurement
Length of the leaves (Create leaves for our rich task creations to be displayed on)
Length of the caterpillar (Make sure they all fit on the leaves)
Algebra
Pattern recognition (using colours on the body of the anuhe)
Types of patterns (create anuhe with AB / ABB / ABC patterns on it's body)
Missing numerals (write numbers on the body of the anuhe and get them to fill in the gaps)
Skip counting (same as above but filling in ever 2nd or third number)
Number
Adding and subtracting (circles on anuhe)
Subitising / arrays (subitising the fruits)
Counting on (adding to the body of the anuhe)
Finding the total number of fruit the caterpillar ate
Literacy
Simple Sentences Students write their own sentence about what they learned from the mentor text using their knowledge of decodable literacy, developing their handwriting skill and format knowledge
Writing to inform about life cycles, or life stages. Touch on science ideas. Write about one of the stages using keywords and ideas developed during think pair share and classroom discussions.
Writing one or more sentences sharing learnt information about a topic. Model writing about what we have learned about a stage in the life cycle, ākonga copy this into their books. "A caterpillar starts as an egg and then emerges as a caterpillar." Focus on letter formation, stamina, finger spaces, formatting.
Comprehension - listen to or read the story of Te Anuhe Tino Hiakai and summarise what we have learned using think pair share.
Science
Ecology - habitats
Where do anuhe and pūrerehua live? Why is this good for them? Recreate our onw anuhe habitats
The living world - Whats living vs non-living. Taking a walk through the school grounds and identifying things that are living or non living.
Explore the life cycle of a butterfly using class discussion and try to prompt prior knowledge
Different organisms have different life cycles.
Investigate and compare two different organisms life cycles. Compare the life cycle of a butterfly to the life cycle of a seed. Why is it different? How is it the same?
Learning Languages
Cultural knowledge
-Days of the week "He aha te ra apōpō?" Create a display that incorporates Maramataka and the days of the week in te reo Māori.
Numbers counting up to 10 (linguistic) how many pieces of fruit did te anuhe tino hiakai eat?
Cultural /sociolinguistic knowledge
Read the book Te Anuhe Tino Hiakia and stop to see what words we recognise or correlate in Te Reo Māori ie "Rā", days of the week, names of fruit etc
Asking each other how they are (cultural / sociolinguistic knowledge) and responding as te anuhe tino hiakai throughout different parts on the book. If i asked te anuhe tino hiakia "Kei te pehea koe?" how would he respond on his very irst day out of the egg? "Kei te hiakai ahau!"
Matauranga Māori
Maramataka - explore the Māori lunar cycle and how it links into the life cycle of a butterfly. Work toward assigning each stage of the life cycle to a phase of the moon.
Te Anuhe Tino Hiakai - read this as an interactive introduction
Te Aitanga Pepeke - the insect world. Naming and identifying different insects in te ao Māori. Explore in the school grounds and try to identify insects using te reo Māori.
Papatuanuku - why is Papatuanuku important to consider when we are talking about life cycles?
Kaitiakitanga - taking care of the planet and taking care of our world and ecosystems. How can we take care of the planet? Brain storm.
Pūrakau - Tāne-Mahuta and Whiro fighitng for the baskets of knowledge. Whiro used insects to attack Tāne-Mahuta. Why were they not on his side?
