4. Get into a group of 3-4, and collect enough mini-whiteboards and pens for everyone. In your group, take turns at writing one of your sentences on your whiteboard, then showing it to your group. Your group mates must then compete to see who can write the correct English translation of your sentence on their whiteboard and show it to you the fastest. The first person to write the correct translation and show it to you gets a point. Continue this activity until everyone has shown their 5 sentences to their group.

Kei te - Present tense continuous action sentences

E.g. Kei te kōrero rātou / They are talking

Kei te oma a Tama / Tama is running

Hei mahi:

1. Follow this link to a power point on how to use 'kei te' for present tense continuous action sentences. Copy the notes and all of the examples into your book, and complete all of the translation activities in your book, as per the instructions on the slides.
2. Copy the following notes and examples into your book:

• In order to add a specific object to a 'kei te' sentence, you use the following structure:
• 'kei te + verb + who + i te/ngā + object'

E.g.

• Kei te kai a Hemi i te paraoa / Hemi is eating the paraoa
• Kei te horoi a Tama i ngā rīhi / Tama is washing the dishes

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:

• 'Kei te tuhi a Tama' / Tama is writing
• 'Kei te kōrero rātou' / they are talking
• 'Kei te pānui ia i te pukapuka / he is reading the book

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.

Kua - Completed Action

E.g. Kua timata te kēmu / the game has started

Kua wehe ngā manuhiri / the guests have departed

Hei mahi:

1. Using the Te Kākano textbook, read through the notes on page 28 (first half of the page) on how 'kua' is used to show that an action has started and is either in progress or has finished . Copy the notes into your book.
2. Read through all of the examples, and note how all of the verbs in the sentences, have been indicated to have started or been completed, by using 'kua'.
3. Copy 6 of the 10 examples (from page 28) into your book.
4. Watch this video on 'kua' and as you watch it, pause it and copy 3 examples from the video, into your book.
5. Follow this link and complete the translation activity below the notes. Each sentence box will turn light green once you get the answer correct. Once finished, copy 2 examples from the activity into your book.
6. Now you will look at how to add who or what caused the state. Follow this link, (if you don't have a device, look on page 57 of the Te Mātāpuna textbook). On each page (web or textbook) there is a section of notes about 'kua', read the notes and examples. Half way down the page are notes on what to do if the speaker wants to say who or what caused the state. Copy these notes into your book under the sub-heading 'Adding the cause of the state', as well as the examples below (just the 'kua' examples). If you are using the textbook, you do not need to copy the entire last paragraph (at the bottom of the page), just copy the first few lines on how to add a persons name using 'i + a + name'
7. Watch this video that shows examples of basic 'kua' sentences, followed by 'kua' sentences that include the cause of the state. As you watch the video, pause it and copy 4 of the examples of sentences that include the cause of the state (will include an 'i' before the cause) into your book.

At least half of your sentences need to include the 'cause'. Once you have written your sentences, sit with a classmate and take turns at reading your sentences aloud. Your classmate needs to try and figure out what each sentence says, with your help.
10. Write the following notes into your book using this sub-heading: 'Kua aha' - Question

• to ask what someone has done, you use the question: 'kua aha + who' - as 'aha' means 'what'
• Some examples are: kua aha ia? kua kai ia / What has she done? She has eaten

Kua aha rātou? Kua waiata rātou / What have they done? They have sung

• Remember that this question is asking about an action that has started, or been completed.
• To answer these questions, you use the same 'kua' structure we have covered this lesson. Essentially, you just remove the question word 'aha' and replace it with the answer.

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.

12. Look at Te Whakamārama 5.9 on oage 118, and note how the examples have now included the object of the sentence. Use these examples to help you complete the Hei Mahi on page 119.
