Town Trip

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog!

Today I will be telling you about the town trip with my hub. My group first walked to Victoria square then we then went to Margret Mahy and I will also be explaining about the waka. I will be talking about what I learnt and what I enjoyed the most. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Victoria Square

On the 20th of May 2021 me and the rest of my hub went on a town trip. My team and I started walking to Victoria square to look at all of the pou, my buddy was Chydale. Then my group had to look at one really tall pou and draw how it looks like on a piece of paper. 

Margaret Mahy Playground

Next we headed to Margret Mahy playground, we learned about all of the special markings on the park. When we had to find some stuff, me and Chydale found two of them. We also got a piece of paper and placed the paper on some cool carvings and coloured it with crayons.

Mats and Tuna

Then we went to our next rotation which was looking at the mats and finding out what they mean. We looked at about three different mats. Then we also went to feed the tuna. Which is Māori for eels.

Waka

Going on the waka was my last activity. We learnt what positions to place our paddle when the instructors called out a word. And we also learnt how to row the boat with the paddle.

My favourite part of the trip was waka because it was fun when we were rowing the boat and it was a little fun when I got splashed with water.

Something I learnt was that there are thirteen mats around the town. I also learned that even if there is an earthquake the mats will not break and if we need to move the mats we can lift it up and shift it to another area.

The thing I found the most interesting was when I actually looked at the markings around the park because I thought it was just to look cool but when I actually observed it I realised that there were some words from books that Margret Mahy and Elsie Lock wrote.

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I learnt more about my tūrangawaewae and New Zealand's culture.

My Maths

Hi Readers, 

Welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my math create. My maths goal for this week was to use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication and division problems with whole numbers, but this week we are looking at division. I found it a bit hard to get good dividing numbers because if you did one number divided by another number you might get a remainder. 

Have you done any learnt this kind of division before?

My Amazing Māori Comic stript!

Kia Ora and welcome to my blog. This week we were learning new words in Māori and we had to make a comic stript with as much Māori words that we could put in and two Māori sentences. I made up a story with as many Māori words as I could and sentences. Here is my Slide.

Ko wai tō ingoa?

Amazing Maths

This week my maths goal was to use a broad range of mental strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems. I had to show my learning of place value, tidy numbers and reversibility. The easiest question was probably place value because, we had to add the hundreds together, the tens together and the ones together. The hardest question was probably the reversibility because it was complicated to understand. Tidy numbers was okay because if you had to do 147 + 223 you only need to plus 3 to 147 and minus 3 from 223, so it has a zero at the end. 

Thank you for coming back to my blog.
