One week at school!!

We have been working on being a good team.  We work as a team to help answer everyone's questions.  We have been working together in a team in maths.

We have had fun.  We have finished our Wednesday windows.  Some people have started by bringing their window.

When we first started school everyone was working well straight away.

We have learnt to never give up.  We fail and fix in our learning.  We are walking through challenges in life and learning.  Lots of us have come back showing good Maraeroa values and key competencies.

We have all been working as a whanau.

We have been taking care of each other.

It was fun being at school on the first day to see our friends again.  We were communicating with our friends.  We see our friends and we smile.

We are all taking risks with our learning.

When we walked to the hall we were quiet in our lines.  Role models!

When the new road patrol people started it was exciting.

Our Patai Ako topic this term is Healthy Me.

We are learning about statistics

We are data detectives: Statistics is about collecting data and gathering all of the information that you need. There needs to be a purpose for your data collection. We gather data for a particular need. For example, we might do an investigation about our favourite colours if we were going to buy each person a t-shirt or make them a card. You can use open or closed questions to gather data. You can present your data in a graph. For example: Tally chart Scatter plot Line graph Stem and leaf graph Bar graph  Pictograph A bar graph has: A title  Bars (even widths)  An x and y axis The y axis has numbers on it that are evenly spaced Labels on the x and y axis Once we have presented the data - we can make statistical statements by analysing it. 

Literacy Learning

During literacy time we have been learning about ANZAC day and what it means for New Zealand. Miss Fiona explained to us about what ANZAC means for her whanau. We are reading lots of different journal articles about ANZAC and we are making information posters to show the rest of our class. To gather ideas we read our journals, discuss the text, and write down key information. We have summarised the information into our own words. On Friday we planted poppy seeds in small pots that we decorated. We have also been publishing our persuasive writing. We have had lots of different arguments to write about and we have been improving each day. By Miss Norris's Literacy Group

Mind-bending Maths

We are focusing on trying to figure out maths problems about patterns by concetrating. We are solving problems about tivaevae, sasa, tapa cloth and more. We use maths to challenge our thinking and other people's thinking. We are counting up in numbers to find number patterns to find the rule. We use lots of strategies to solve our maths problems. We respect our friends thinking by listening and giving them a chance to share. We connect ideas to other people's. We share the pen to write our ideas.  We work together as a team. We explain our thinking for other's understanding.
