Lesson sequence
In this lesson, the students will create a weather space on the wall, using key terms.
Explain to the students that they will draw weather illustrations to be placed there.
Ask the students about the weather on a daily basis.
Kei te pēhea te āhua o te rangi, tamariki mā?
What is the weather like today children?
The students may respond in English. If they do, introduce the Māori term to
describe the weather, e.g. ‘Ua’ is the Māori word for rain. In Māori we say, ‘Kei te
ua’, it’s raining.
Have the students draw illustrations of rain to be placed in the weather space.

Resources
Katerina Te Heikoko Mataira’s book, Cry Baby Moon.(Diana –Grace Morris)

Review from teacher; “This book is in both Maori and English. It is an absolutely
stunning children's book with delicious illustrations of rain, cloud, thunder,
lightning and rainbow. The use of koru is within a modern context. Totally
engaging for the juniors.

they felt they have successfully met the lesson’s learning intention (LI) by way of
success criteria (SC) Symbols could be used to show this. At the end of the lesson,
students will be encouraged to engage in a discussion about why they chose the

X that they chose, as an indicator of whether the work was too easy,
challenging enough, or too difficult.
