Walk To Delicious Greens

 On Tuesday we went for a walk to Greens for Shivam’s birthday on Saturday but we celebrated it on Tuesday. We went to the Greens because his parents owned the restaurant so we got the food for free. The best bit was the food, we got a tray each with butter chicken, rice and naan bread and it tasted so good. We also got to choose either Coke or Sprite so I picked Coke. I felt so special and lucky that we got to go to the most delicious Indian restaurant in town. We acknowledged Shivam by giving him a card. To say thank you we sung a few waiata. We were so loud people across the road could here us. At the end they gave us all a big easter eggs to say thanks for coming and happy easter.

Do you like butter chicken?

Fantastic Fun Maths

In Te Ngahere we have been doing Pangarau (maths). We got put into groups my group was the green tick.

We were learning to tell the difference between subtraction and addition for word problems.  I think the best strategy for addition is place value partitioning or equal additions.

I used them to help me and it made it much easier for me.

Also with subtraction I would personally use jumping the line because it made it so much easier for me then using place value. 

I have also been learning jumping the number the line and equal additions and I just remembered place value partitioning from last year.

I tried to do place value for subtraction but I got stuck because I couldn’t take 6 away from 3. 

What way do you think is best for subtraction and addition? 

 

 

Interesting Easy Maths

In Te Ngahere we have been doing equal additions.

We had to also make a DLO and screencastify so we can help other people learn about it. 

I found it really hard to do equal additions at first becauseI didn’t really get it but then when I kept doing it, it made it easier for me. 

Next time I am going to keep doing lots of practice because

that’s what I did this time to make it easier for me. 

Do you know how to do equal additions?

Interesting Ngahere

 On Thursday we went for a bush walk in our Ngahere. We had to research about what animal we might or might not see there. My group researched about a short tailed bat. We went down Paihia School road and at the end was a walking track and we went for walk. We also got told to leave it how we found it. We saw so much cool and interesting things like, Fantails, ferns also silver ferns, lots of decomposed things, very tiny fish, black trees and ect, we also saw a big spider on our way back. I think when we went it was very interesting, pretty and cool. I learnt about lots of names for different types of ferns such as leatherleaf fern.

Some Work I Absolutely Love

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Team Building. We are doing Team Building to help us

collaborate and discuss with our learning groups. My group was Boston and Angus. We had a piece of

paper and our teacher drew things on hers and hung it outside. There was one drawer and two walkers.

The walkers had to go out and memorise  something on the piece of paper and tell the drawer but we

couldn't touch the paper. The drawers had to draw what the walkers said to do.  I only did this once and

it was my first time because I was away last time they did it. When I had my hands behind my back it

made it easy for me not to touch the paper but Angus and I looked like woodpeckers. For me it made it

hard for me to memorise and explain to Boston exactly what the drawing was. The challenging bit was

not to touch the paper and to explain.

Stunning Food Web That Will Help You With Your Learning

 These past two weeks we have been learning about food chains and food webs. In our food webs we had to show what that animal eats. The teachers food web was different to mine because she had different coloured arrows, lots more arrows and pointing to what that animal eats. The arrows on the food web are pointing to what they eat. So if the possum eats the Kereru  the arrow will be pointing at the Kereru to the possum. 

I think food webs are pretty fun and easy because I knew what to do, next time I will probably do more arrows and photos. 

Have you ever learnt about a food web or a food chain before?

Crazy Fun Measurement

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about measurement. We were learning about measurement to help us improve with it. So now I know that if there is 50cm it is 500mm. I made a DLO to show what to do when you are measuring something.

I enjoyed learning about measurement so I get better at it. The hardest bit was to get the right answer. Next time I will know more things about it. 

Have you done measurement before? Do you think measurement is fun? 

The Insane Lockdown

 In the past two weekend’s I was meant to stay with my dad for three days. The day we were meant to go home Auckland went into lockdown so we had stay longer until we got more notice.  My mum came down to Auckland just before lockdown and we were getting bored so we decided we wanted to stay with my mum and her friend for the rest of lockdown. I was soooo bored all we did was watch Netflix and get uber eats. We tried to come home but then the whole of Whangarei got evacuated because of the tsunami. So we made it to Silverdale and decided to come back to Auckland and stay there for three more nights because my brother was sick and we didn't want to have trouble at the borders. Also none of us wanted to come home.
