Math

4/7/18

This term in Te Maunga we have been doing math problem solving for math. Math problem solving is when you are in groups and you have to work out problems using your times tables and division. This week we did Matariki problem solving.We had to find out how many points all the Matariki stars had all together if they had 5 points and if they had 7 points. The answer for 5 points was 5 x 7 = 35 and the answer for 7 points was 7 x 7 = 49.

Matariki

3/7/18

In term 2 Te Maunga & Te Tahuna went to Waitangi Treaty Grounds. We went there because we were learning about Matariki and how we celebrate it. I learnt how to make a flax fish and we also did some planting and played maori games. The games where Maui (left) - Matau (right) and Mu Torere. After we  finished all the activities we had some kai (food).

He Tino Reke, He Tino Kawa

In Te Maunga we have made a google slides about  Maori food. We have been learning different Types of kai. Mrs Pou brought in some food so we could learn what sweet and sour is in Maori Mrs Pou told us that he tino Reke means very sweet and he tino Kawa means very sour. We were doing it to see what food is Reka (Sweet) or if it is Kawa (Sour).

Rocky Shore

At the start of  week 3 this term we made a google drawing about our rocky shore. We compared our Paihia rocky shore to a healthy untouched rocky shore. We had to find the things that where the same and the things that where difforent. To help the Paihia rocky shore I will make sure nobody picks up live creatures and throws them back on the rocks or in the rock pools.
