The Body


Hi guys
Can you make some sentences using some of these words? You don't need to write them down.
I think of sentences when I am doing my housework (keeps me from getting bored!)

Look at a box and say a sentence. When you can say them easily try to make a sentence
 using words  from two boxes. Have fun!!!! And you could do this in your home language. Practice with your family members.

Hi guys Its Monday 20th April 2020 already (had to check on my phone!)

This is a message from our Ministry of Education in 10 Pacific Languages.
https://learningfromhome.govt.nz/pacific-communities

Its really hard to think back on what you are doing in your time away -
here's how you can easily keep track and have lots to remind you 🤣

A suggestion is to create a quick list of things that you do each day or week, like help around the house, play a game, ride your bike. You then select one thing from your list and write a short paragraph to explain more about it. When you return to school, your daily/weekly lists now serves as a brainstormed list of what you did while you were out of school.” 

And don't forget our word challenge!

Oh my gosh did I have trouble getting started today….
I had to remember my letter combinations to get past 10 words.  cl , fl, pl
