3. Using the Te Pūkaki textbook (page 76), copy the 'kei te' sentences (in the white section of the page below the picture) into your book, then translate them. Hint: the sentences are about whats happening in the picture.
4. In the Te Pūkaki textbook, complete the first part of the Hei Mahi on page 79 (the table activity). For this activity, you need to correctly match a phrase from column 1, with a phrase from column 2 & 3. Hint: Look at the picture on page 78 to help you understand how the sentences might/should be structured.
5. In your book, write 10 'kei te' sentences about what people around the classroom are doing right now. For example:
6. Get into groups of 4. In your group, each person will take a turn of standing up and miming/acting out a certain activity with whatever props they can find around them. All other group members race to say a 'kei te' sentence about what is being acted out. The person acting will chose the 'kei te' sentence that they think most appropriately sums up what they are acting out. An example of this is: Anna stands up and acts out that she is eating a sandwich, one of her group mates then says - "kei te kai a Anna i te hanawiti" - Anna is eating a sandwich. Anna then confirms this sentence is correct, so that person wins. Each person will have 3 turns at acting each.
E.g. E haere ana rātou - they are/were/will be going
E kai ana ia i te ika - he is/was/will be eating the fish

9. Using the Reo Māori o Nāianei 1 textbook (page 55), copy the examples of 'e....ana + who + i te/ngā + object' sentences (located above Mahi 71, starting with "Tom is singing a song") into your book.
10. Complete Mahi 71 & 72 (page 55) in your book and then mark.
11. In your book, write 5 x 'e....ana' sentences about activities that your classmates will need to act out. You sentences need to contain an object e.g. 'E pānui ana a Josh i te pukapuka' - 'Josh is reading the book' You can include activities that would occur outside of the classroom as well, e.g. 'e whiua ana ia i te pōro' - 'he is throwing the ball'
12. Once your sentences are complete, get into groups of 4, and get a mini whiteboard and whiteboard pen each. You will then each take turns at acting out one of your sentences at a time. The first person to write on their whiteboard the correct 'e....ana' sentence and show the actor, wins.
E.g. Kua timata te kēmu / the game has started
Kua wehe ngā manuhiri / the guests have departed
Hei mahi:

11. Using the Te Mātāpuna textbook, look at Te Whakamārama 5.8 (page 115-116) and see how it gives examples of how 'kei te' & 'e...ana' sentences differ from 'kua' sentences, where the action has been completed (or started). Use these examples to help you complete the Hei Mahi (red section) on pages 117-118.
E.g. Ka kai mātou / we will eat
Ka haere ia ki te tuaone / he went to the beach
Hei mahi:
E.g. Ka aha te kōtiro? / what will the girl do?
Ka hoki te kōtiro ki te marae / the girl will return to the marae

To ask what someone will do, we use the structure 'ka aha....?'
Ka - indicates future tense
Aha - means 'what'
E.g. Ka aha rātou? Ka waiata rātou / What will they do? They will sing.
To answer this question, we simply remove the 'aha - the question word,' and replace it with the answer (there is more explanation o how to structure 'ka' sentences in the Active Sentences section under 'Ka'.
2. Using the Te Pūkaki textbook, read the notes in Te Whakamārama 2.13 on page 62, then copy the 3 examples into your book, and translate them to English.

Kei te kōrero rātou / They are talking
Hei Mahi:
E.g. E haere ana ngā tamariki / Kāore ngā tamariki e haere ana
