Essential Workers

Rāapa te 22 o Paenga-whāwhā

Kia ora koutou,

COVID-19 is keeping us away from school and other people at home instead of going to work. 
But some people are doing really important mahi while we are in rāhui (lockdown).
You might know someone in your whanau that is an essential worker. 

But what kinds of work are essential?
Essential workers are people that work at supermarkets, petrol stations, pharmacies, bakeries, medical centres and hospitals. They are healthcare workers, cleaners, nurses, and doctors. They are working hard to keep us all safe.

I have 2 people in my family that are essential workers. My nephew is working shifts at a bread-making factory and has been flat out, especially just before the lockdown.
My mother-in-law is working at a COVID-19 testing site, where people come and sit in their cars to have a swab go up into their nose.

Today I would like you to make a drawing or a google drawing of an essential worker and label it, then share it with me.

You could make a poster to go in your window that thanks all of the essential workers for their mahi. 




If you would prefer to write about essential workers you can share that too.

Remember to:
