Matariki Unit (Years 5–8)

This is a full cross-curricular unit for Years 5–8 that covers the topic properly. It moves through Science, Maths, English, Social Science, Arts, Music, and Food Tech in a way that actually hangs together rather than feeling like a bunch of separate activities stapled together to try and suit a theme. Use it as a two to three week unit or pick and choose what fits your programme. Everything is ready to project, print, and hand out. Years 5–8 | NZ Curriculum aligned | PDF and editable Canva links

Practise to Progress | Year 5 Term 2 Daily Maths Warm-Ups

Practise to Progress is a daily maths warm-up designed to help Year 5 students revisit key skills regularly, so learning has a better chance of moving into long-term memory. Each day includes six quick questions: four Number questions and two Strand questions. The questions provide regular, low-pressure practice with previously taught concepts, helping students build confidence, strengthen recall, and retain important maths skills over time. This Term 2 version is aligned with where Year 5 students should be tracking by this stage of the year. It can also be used with older students who need extra consolidation or classes that benefit from regular revision. Term 1, 3 and 4 versions are coming soon, so the practice can continue across the year.
