Marvoless Margret Mahy

Kia Ora and welcome back to my blog, listen to this ...  

Last term we went on a trip to Margret Mahy Park and we are doing PBL projects on what we saw there some people are doing pou's and others are doing mats, my group is doing awa and rakou it's basically snakes and ladders but with rivers and trees.

Here is my recount enjoy

 Intro

On the 20th of May 2021 Thursday all of Tumu, a bit of Kaupeka and some parent helpers including my mum all went to Margaret Mahy. It was a little chilly and cold so all of us had to bring a jacket and a jersey but then it got hot then cold then hot then cold it was a endless cycle but it was the most fun time learning than I ever had !

My favourite part of the trip was Feeding the eels because we got to learn about them and I feed a family of eels.

Something I learnt was, 

EELS: that female eels are bigger than males and that they don’t know there gender or have babies until they are 10. 

STORY ARC : There is a story by Margaret Mahy in the story arc called “The man whose mother was a pirate”. 

THE MATS : The tiles in the mats can be taken out in case of an emergency. 

WAKA: When we were doing the Waka I learnt we haft to wait for the commands to start rowing and the we haft to yell “ HE HA HE HA “.

VICTORIA SQUARE: And lastly at Victoria square we learnt that it used to be called market square because all of the maori people used to trade there food at the market but after they built the Queen Victoria statue and after the big earth quake they renamed it Victoria square .

The thing I found the most interesting was the Waka

This trip has helped me with my PBL because we could gather all of our crayon  rubbing art and make our own mural or we could all design a pou and use all of our ideas into  one mini pou for each of our hubs .

Thanks for reading my blog post, hoped you enjoyed

Powerful Partitioning

 Kia Ora welcome back to my blog,

Our Maths Goal: use a broad range of strategies to solve multiplication & division problems with whole numbers - Partitioning

When using partitioning aka place value you need to x, +, - or division in its columns so it’s like doing it in parts witch is why it’s called partitioning.

Try doing some of your own questions

Here is my create task

Thank you
