In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Maths Strategies.
3 days ago we were finding the best strategy for us. I think
the best maths strategy for me is algorithm because it is easy
to use with adding and subtraction.
It also gives me the right answer. What was hard was using
algorithm with subtraction because it is hard when we have to
borrow numbers and add it back to the next number. What Ii
found easy was placing the numbers together.
Have you ever had to find the best strategy for you?
In Te Ngahere for the past week we have been learning to evidence our Maths.
I had to explain my knowledge of Equal Additions. Equal Additions is good
strategy to use for subtraction.The thing I found easy in this is balancing the numbers out. What I found hard
Have you ever had to evidence you math work?
In Te Ngahere we have been learning to communicate and collaborate between our learning members. Yesterday the 23rd of March we did a team building activity. The activity was when one person was the drawer and there were two others that will take turns running out. The two runners had to run outside and look at the teachers drawing and describe what the teachers drawing looked like to the drawer. The drawer wasn't allowed to go outside and have a look at the teachers photo. We have been doing Team Building Activities to see how well we work together.
Team building was known as Task Masters. We got the name from a
Tv show.
We were lucky to do the same activity twice.
The first time we did it I was one of the runners. When I was one of
the runners it was hard to explain where the drawings
were or what they look, like. it was easy for me not to touch the paper. With the second attempt I was the drawer and it was
hard to try understand what they meant because they kept
getting louder and louder and that made me frustrated.
What was easy was that I could kind of understand what they meant
when the gave me proper instructions and were yelling at me.
Have you ever done an activity to see how well you
work with you group members?
FIRST ATTEMPT

Once we finished doing that we had to compare the difference between the teachers food web and our food web.
The difference between their food web and my food web was that their food web had different colored arrows to show what each consumer eats. My arrows were only one color. Also their food web had more arrows pointing towards the stoat than mine. Mine also has more arrows pointing towards the Kereru then the teachers.
Have you ever learnt about food webs before?
For the past two weeks In Te Ngahere we have been learning about the ecosystem and mutualistic relationships. We had to read these two articles ( LINK 1 LINK 2. ) We also had to fill out these three columns. They were what we already know, what we discovered and we know now. I made a DLO to teach you about how the ecosystem works. I discovered that if there were 1000 carnivores and only 100 herbivores then after the carnivores eat all 100 herbivores they will start eating eachother and they will eventually become extinct.
Have you ever made a DLO about the ecosystem?
was going to be a tsunami. We didn't know what was happening until we started walking
up the hill. Once we were up there, people were frustrated and sad because they didn't
know what could happen to their families. I was confused because I didn't know what
was happening. I thought it might had been it was a Tsunami.
Minutes after we got up the hill one of my family members came up to get me, my siblings
and two of my cousins. They took us to the Golf Course. Once we got out we started to
play tag and hide and seek. After a few hours the Fire Patrol and Countdown gave us some
hot dogs, breand water. We were so hot we started to wet each other and run around the golf course
but after a while we got told to get of the golf course cause some people were playing
golf. Have you ever had to evacuate because of a Tsunami?
