Pepeha

For the last 3 weeks we have been learning to write  and say our pepeha confidently. I learnt how to add my family. The purpose of learning our Pepeha is to know the tikanga behind it. I enjoyed writing and learning my pepeha and how to not just introduce myself but my whole family. Here’s a link

Mihi

All week Te Ngahere was making a vishal mihi. Not a lot of people do the mihi in the morning so everyone had to learn it by make a google drawing and put in the images to remind us what is means so that we learn it. I put a bell bird in it because it remind of the first line in the mihi.

Reading

A few weeks back in the Blue reading group, Ocean, Max, Tarquinn, Cilla, Lesane and I were reading about a book called Holding my breath By Melinda Szymanik.

It was about a boy who did not know how to breath properly when he is swimming.

We were learning to answer inference questions and write it on a google doc.

common and proper nouns

Last week Te Ngahere were learning how to write common and proper nouns in our report writing.

We created a google  drawing and put proper nouns and common nouns in it.

This is a common and a proper noun all together.

Math goals

Last week Te Ngahere was given an Ican sheet and Te Ngahere  had to fill it out with what we need to learn and what we know. Then when we were done we had to do a Google Drawing and we had to choose 3 Math Goals that we needed to learn about. The reason we did these Maths Goals is to make our Teacher's  job a heck of alot easier because they use our goals to plan and don’t teach stuff we already know.

Goals

Last week Te Ngahere started doing a google drawing of our writing goals.We needed to get our goals setting sheet so that we can get them to a google drawing.

Writing

For Matariki Te Ngahere did koru and kowhaiwhai.We needed to do it  of our family. In my family I put my Nan, Gran, Mum, Dad, Sister, brother and me. In my painting I did a lot of color.

After I drew my art I was painting it and when it was painted I got a marker and drew around it.
