Math Problem Solving

In Te Maunga each week we do for maths, problem solving. The teacher put us into groups of threes, the groups that we are in is the groups we do math with. In my group is Vaughan and Aj. Vaughan is the expert in our group. We have been learning wingspan, wingspan is how long your reach is. When you measure your wingspan you have to measure it from the longest finger to the longest finger.

Matariki

At Paihia School on Tuesday Te Maunga and Te Tahuna walked to the Waitangi Treaty grounds. At the Treaty Grounds there were activities, the activities were planting, making fish out of flax and maori games. We went to Waitangi to celebrate Matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Years.

He Tano Reka and He Teno Kawa

In Te Maunga we made a google slide about he tino reka and he tino kawa. Mrs Pou bought some kai for us to try. There were oranges(arani), lemons, pepa(pepa), sugar (huka), salt(tote), apples(aporo), and My favorite was the lemons.

Fitness

At Paihia School all the classes do fitness and when we do fitness there are different sorts of activities. There are hurdles, jump jam, races, skipping and the last one is like a work out. My favorite activity is the hurdles. You do fitness to get fit. Fitness is also good for your health. The hardest activity for me was the jump jam. If you run around your heart will start to beep.

Rocky Shores

At the start of week 2 or 3 we made a google drawing presentation about the rocky shores but before we made a google drawing our whole class and one other class and that was the Te Tahuna we walked over to the Paihia rocky shores. In our inquiry we had to look at a rocky shore how it is suppose to look like then we looked at the Paihia rocky shores and compared them. Then we had to do the different and the same on the google drawing. At the Paihia rocky shores there were small tiny crabs and the other one had huge massive and big crabs the crabs were slippery slidey and the nippers were as sharp as a knife. We need to look after the environment.

Math Goals

At the start of term two we made some new math goals. My hardest goals were Reading decimals to 3dp. We had to pick the goals we did not achieved last term and put them in our math goals. When we finished the math goals we showed the teacher and she printed it when the teacher printed it we put a large piece of paper under the math goals and stuck the math goals on then we put it on the wall.
