The Highway Rat

LS1 did a drawing of a book called The Highway Rat.

Mr Ogilive read every page one by one. When he was done reading we would draw what we think the picture looked like.

This story is about a rat stealing everybodys food. The rat would even steal things that are not edible. He was really greedy.

My visualistation is a different to my partners becasue I didn't do alot of detail.

We  have differnt visaulisations because we have differnt detalis.

Place Value and Saying Numbers

 Place value is a system that groups numbers bassed on their size.

The position of a digit determins its value. When  we say numbers we group then whithin the same hase. For example 15709 has fifteen thousand, seven hundred and nine ones.

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

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and opening. 

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 the Iwi (tribe) are generally used.

Introducing Ingoa (name), okū 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 the group visitor/s that are being welcomed. It is important to end with a warm welcome 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. 

Print Design Rules

I learned about the print design rules.

First Mr Wong taught us about the main aspects of the print design rules colour, layout, text and composition.

Next I figured out which poster were good or bad with my partners.

Last I reorganised a poster to make it look good.

I enjoyed this activity because it was fun.

Basic Facts Box

 I practise my Basic facts on prototec.

I did stage 5 and got 44 out of 60.

I need to practise more of my division.

Handwriting

 I learned how to write the alphabet, numbers and symbols properly.

I watched a video to show neat handwriting. I wrote the characters neatly into my writing book.

I need to practice writing my alphabets on the line.

LS1 Treaty

LS1 learnt about the 3 ps in the treaty of waitangi and how the apply to our learning.

Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3 ps in the treaty of waitangi. 

Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3 ps in LS1.

 LS1 figured out the 3 ps 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 start by making sure my friends participate.
