Ordinal numbers
If your students are confident with the days of the week and the cardinal numbers, you could introduce them to the ordinal numbers in te reo Maori as a way of describing the weather on each day of the school week, for example:
| Maori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| I te ra tuatahi, he kapua. | On the first day, it was cloudy. |
| I te ra tuarua, he ua. | On the second day, it rained. |
