The food is always mean as and you often leave chock-a-block so you work hard out for the next 5 minutes. She’ll be right. A colleague comes in to take a squiz and she thinks it looks tu meke. She takes a tiki tour around your room to suss it out and repeatedly says “Chur”. You take your time because you don’t want the display to look rough as guts. Just when you think you’re home and hosed, you find 4 more speech bubbles that were hiding under your planning book. Aw, gutted. You’re about to throw a wobbly but you remind yourself that everything is a box of fluffies. You don’t want the display to look half pie so you give it heaps. It looks wicked bro. Your students are going to think it's flash as. Time to head to the staff room. You take a seat next to your cuz who tells you a hard case joke. She’s a bit of a dag. You tell her “don’t be an egg” as you reach for a pineapple lump. You’re a bit knackered after working so hard all morning, but everything is hunky dory. No worries!

The fantail (pīwakawaka) features in many Māori myths and legends. This craft activity can be used for any of the stories (or alternatively, for a study on New Zealand birds). Students write or draw on the tail fan and then attach it to the bird. You can add as many tail fans as you wish. Two Options: ♦ Attach the tail fan(s) to a bird that has been cut out. ♦ Attach the tail fan(s) to a bird that is on a sheet of paper (you will probably need a long-armed stapler for this option). Two Sets of Templates: ♦ Fantail facing right. ♦ Fantail facing left. Writing / Drawing Suggestions: ♦ Write facts about fantails. ♦ Draw your favourite part of the story. ♦ Give the story a rating out of 10 and give a reason. ♦ Write about the story (plot, setting, characters, message, etc). ♦ Draw a fantail and add labels. ♦ Write about where you’d like to fly to if you were a fantail. ♦ Write vocabulary from the story (English / Te Reo). The tail fans are completely blank (no lines for writing). If you would like lines, then I suggest you draw some before photocopying. Designed on A4 size paper. Approximate size when cut out is 23cm by 16cm. The Templates (right and left facing): ♦ Bird with page border, tree branches and the word ‘pīwakawaka’. ♦ Bird. ♦ 1x feather tail fan and 1x blank tail fan. ♦ 2 x feather tail fans. ♦ 2 x blank tail fans. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources
