Maths

We were learning how to solve word problems by figuring out which problem was multiplication.

1. Melanie worked 3 hours for 5 days. How many hours did she work in total?

multiplication

Multiplication is adding the same number over and over.

For example 4+4+4+4+4+4 is adding four six times so 6 x 4= 24.

The slide below shows the 4 times table.

L.I We learnt how to do our 4 time tables.

Swimming

Today my group practiced water safety skills at the Lagoon Pools, while I watched.

The first skill they practiced was streamline kicking.

Then they practiced swimming on their backs.

Lastly they practiced kicking six times then they turned on their backs and kicked six times.

Next time I will do better at swimming on my back.

Tangrams

Today I learned how to make tang rams.


I rearranged the pieces to make animal shapes.


First I made a square piece of paper because tang rams are made from a big square.


Then I folded the square into various square.


Lastly , I Tried to make different animal squares from the tang ram pieces.


I like'd how me and my group was working to gather with the LS,2 seniors.

First Waka

Originally there were no people in New Zealand . The first people to settle in New Zealand  came in a series of waka. The first ten waka were named:Kurahaupō, Tākitimu, Mataatua, Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Horouta, Uruao, Ārai-te-uru.

Most of the waka visited the North island. Some of the places the waka landed at were Takapaukura, Takou Bay and Kaipara Harbour.

The ten waka came to New Zealand to discover new lands for people to live.

L.I: To learn early exploration

Listening

Kiwi Can was about listening.

We played ‘bop the cone’ to practise listening for instructions.

We also played ‘Chinese whispers’ to practise listening and hearing information.

I thought ‘Chinese whispers’ was a good way to practise listening skills.

Kupe And Cook

Kupe and Cook are 2 impotent explores in New Zealand history.

Kupe arrived in New Zealand in the ll00's. He travel eel by traditional methods it he fallowed a giant Octopus.He did they voyage to find New land for his people to live. His wife name'd New Zealand Aotearoa after seeing mountains under the clouds.

Kupe is impotent because he was the first documented person in New Zealand and opened it up to the world to access.
