Place Value and Saying Numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers of their size.

The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group them in the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundred and nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabits).

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects to the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tupuna (ancestral place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

It is important to end with warm visitors so the visitors know that there is no hostility in 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections. 

AFL Training

First Group A/B were on the field and we learned Aussie Rules skills 

After we were shown how to hand pass then we practiced in pairs. Then we were shown how to drop kick and we needed to make an M and needed put the laces away from faces and drop the ball on your foot.

Lastly we played two games of Octopus and we used the skills we learnt to try hit the teacher and the coach.

I enjoyed playing Aussie Rules and learning new skills.

LS1's Treaty

 LS1 learnt about the 3ps in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply to our learning .

First Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3ps in the Treaty of Waitangi. They are protection, partnership and participation.

 Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3ps in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3ps are all connected. After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected to me.

I chose these 3 statements because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1.

 I will make sure my friends and I will concentrate on the work. 

Dog Man Revenge of the Fleas

 I read the 3 pages of  Dog Man Revenge of the Fleas.

Dog Man gets distracted when he tries to catch robbers.

I like Dog Man because he has a dogs head and a human body.

Basic Facts

I learnt number bonds and doubles.

First my partner and I used multi link blocks to work on number bonds and doubles.

Next when I was done working on the number bonds, I recorded the results on the spread sheet.

Lastly I used spreadsheet tricks like CTRL C (Copy)  CTRL V (Paste)

I enjoyed the doubles but it was hard to come up with the results.
