Mihi

This week in Te Ngahere we had to do a visual Mihi to remember our morning mihi.  We were learning to understand and identify the photos. The first photo I picked is the bellbird our mihi translation. Then I picked the Sky and that reminds me of the gods and heavens above as and that helps me remember our Mihi.

Reading About Rep's

A few weeks ago in Te Ngahere my reading group, ,Blue, did a reading task called Rep’s by Andre Ngapo. We were learning to skim and scan the worlds find out what we did not know and also to write a reflection about what we think the story was about.   

Informational report

For the past few weeks in writing Te Ngahere has been writing about their chosen country. We were learning to write informational reports. We had to choose a country we wanted to write about and have three subtopics. My country was Australia so my three  subtopics were The first person on the 50 dollar note, sports in Australia and Animals in Australia.

 Australia  

WALT write an informational report about Australia

Did you know that there is about 24.13 million people Australia? Keep reading if you would like to learn more about the value  of money, the kind of sport that they play and the different animals and more about Australia.

In Australia there are different value  of money like  5$, 10$, 20$, 50$ and 100$ dollar notes and coins come in 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents.

The first ever person on the Australian 100$ note was Dame Nellie Melba and she  was on there from ( 1861 - 1931 ) and then it went to General Sir John Monash and he was on there from ( 1965 - 1931).

The first ever person on the 50$ note was David Cow and he on it from ( 1872 - 1967 ). Then it was the first female, Edith Cowan ( 1861- 1937).

The sport that is most popular in Australia is very different to other sports in the world. The sport that is most popular is AFL and that is Australian Rules Football. A bit about AFL The field you play on is a Circle with lines all over it. The Rules are that you have to kick the ball to get a try. It is a bit like rugby but you are allowed to dump them and do more dangerous things.  

The largest kangaroo is a red kangaroo the red kangaroo is the only one that can swim. And did you know that there was about  34,303,677 in 2011 so that means that there is like 4x that WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  

                                        ( Conclusion )

Australian has lots of amazing activities and places to go see and have fun. New Zealanders go to Australia to explore different kinds of animals and cultures also to see interesting things.

common nouns and proper nouns

Last week in Te Ngahere, we were learning about the differences between common nouns and proper nouns. The whole class had to attend the workshop. After the workshop we got into  buddies . we had to  make a google drawing to show the teacher that we have  understood the differences between a proper noun and a common nouns.

Last Week Te Ngahere had to set three maths goals. We were learning to identify what we have to achieved in maths and identify our next learning steps,  After we got our maths goals off our ikan sheets. Then we had to put  on our goals sheets. Next we got to create a google drawing and put our maths goals on it. We had finished the teacher printed and hung it on the wall.

Writing Goals

Last week was the first week of the term 3 and we had to set some writing goals. We were learning to identify our next learning goals in writing. We have to achieved 3  learning goals by the end of the term. Once we had finished putting our writing goals on a slide we got to put them on a google drawing and make it look cool .

I hope I achieve my writing goals by the end of the term and this helps me learn better.

Matarik Art

😄Last Term for  Matariki we had made some art that represented our family with Te Maunga. We were learning  to draw kowhaiwhai patterns . We had some parents such as Annalisse ( Kian's Mum ) and that was fun.  We had to use crayon , a little piece of paper and  metallic paint and  that paint is pretty. We had to focus to make the patterns  and lines the same length and size and that was hard. 😄
