Matariki blog

For the last two day the whole school has been doing Matariki activity's, because it's Matariki and we do this every single year. The hard part was to make our movie for Friday because there is a Matariki assembly. The easy part was to cooperate with my team to play Tapu Wai and Ki-o-rahi. I really like doing my activity because my favourite sport is Ki-o-rahi and Tapu Wai. Also I would love to play those games again because they're really fun to play. The point why we only play those games at Matariki time, and not anytime is because it's a special game. The point is that it is the remembrance of our ancestors peace and harmony.

 

Te rawa nui, te rawa iti.

Yesterday I was learning how to problem solve 1 high number, and 1 low number by using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The easy part was to make the lowest number out of my whole class, and my number was -5. The lowest number in my whole class. The hard part is to make the highest number because, one of my classmates got 660 and, my highest number is 360. I can solve the problem solve question, but I just can't find out how to make the highest number using multiplication, subtraction, addition and division.

Problem Solving

I am learning how to problem solve involving fractions. I can solve the problem by the next day because one day its not enough time for me to really get it. If we just get one day I will probably say that its hard because I don't understand the question. I need to keep working on using a systematic table with my group. My next step is to turn my tables, my drawings and my ideas in expressions.
                                   

Problem saving

Yesterday we were learning how to problem solve such as extending further information explaining our mathematical thinking, exploring our strategies. We were working in groups to share what we have in our books or in our brains. The easy part is to explain my mathematical think because that's the main thing I do. The hard part is to extend further information because when you extend the information you already have in your mind it will be hard to think of anything else.

Testing the water.

This week we have been learning how to think critically and I think that I nailed it because the last story we read was true because most lakes, creeks and seas. The easy part is to read and not just believing whatever you read. The hard is nothing because know I nailed. I know how to think critically because you just have to read a text and try and figure out if it's non-fiction or fiction.

Reading

This week we have been learning to think critically about what you read and evaluate the text. The hard part is to think critically when people are distracting you. The easy part is to think critically people ain't distracting you because you can think properly when no one is distracting you. Think critically is about asking question the right question, questions that help you access both meaning and the significant of arguments.

No bullying

OK bullying needs to stop because people are getting hurt from actions and words. My opinion is TREAT PEOPLE HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. This is an example if you don't know what to do when your getting bullied. :-) (-:
