Pepeha

Kia ora Bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have been learning about our pepeha. For the people that don’t know what a pepeha is, a pepeha  is the story of your life and where your ancestors came from and how they came to New Zealand. I think I did well at trying my best and sharing where my ancestor came. I enjoyed sharing my kaupapa with people and not keeping it to myself and my whanau. Next time I can do better by going  slow not fast and to say it nice and loud. I like to share were my ancestor came from and I also I like that I gave it a go and used all my hoe Blog you later

Waitangi Treaty Ground trip

Kia ora Bloggers! On Monday the 18th , Whaea Monika & Whaea Kerry came to Paihia School in the whare. To help us  finish the work we started at the treaty grounds . The people that were away on that day we had to make a person a Hoe & ngahere.We were learning to identify ourselves the ngahere and the waka represent as  I enjoyed doing a hoe.

FLUBBER

In Te Maunga this term we made flubber. flubber is like slime.
We made flubber because it was part of  maths problem solving.
The flubber don’t work because we add to much water in the borax.
I learnt 50 teaspoons = 1 cup.
The hardest part was Fractions because we had to work out very big numbers.
Don’t put to much water in the flubber!

Writing Goals

This term in Te Maunga we have created a google drawing of our writing goals we made a term 1, term 2 goal and we just made a  term 3 writing goals. We write narratives or recounts for showing evidence so the teacher knows that we have complete We add our walts to our presentation so the teacher knows what we are are trying to evidence. We also highlight the our goals then in our writing we check . We had to put down what we did not achieved  from last year WALT choose our own writing goals.

Maths problem solving

This term Te Maunga has been doing Maths problem solving everyday after morning tea time. The experts go up to Mrs Pou and she teaches them then they teach as what they have learnt from Mrs Pou. We did wingspan - Reach and also Height. Shay was 1.34m for wingspan and for Height 1.33m, Kaitlin was 1.34m for wingspan and for her Height it was 1.32m and I was 1.56m for wingspan and I was 1.40m for Height.

Matariki

In term 2 Te Maunga & Te Tuhuna went on a trip to Waitangi Treaty Grounds. We went to Waitangi Treaty Grounds to learn about Matariki &  we played fun games well we were there. There was Maui-Matau, Mu Torere we also made fish out of Flax and also played a game when there are two players and you had to find them but you had to be blindfolded & also we planted ferns. I learnt how to make a fish out of Flax & I wish Paihia School can go back to the Treaty Ground next year to learn more Maori New Year games and also learn same more about Matariki.
