What is a Landform

Here is Hopoate's wonderful Slideshow about landforms that he created with his sister.

This was a little hard but I got through it because my sister helped me. I learnt some interesting things.

Just Keep Writing

This term we have been away from our normal class and learning from home. But that has not stopped the children in the block from writing amazing stories. They have been writing in their writing books or straight onto their blog. I am so proud of them and all the great writing they are doing.

Here I am showing you how I learnt one of the timetables and how I got the answer using cards to make my groups.


Cayden
Today I did some math and it was easy. So I did my own equation. I made a moving and showed how I solved it by putting it into bits. So first I added the tens then I added the ones. Hope you enjoy.

Reading Baskets of Fire

Last week we read Baskets of Fire. Here are some of our creations.

Eve
I drew a picture about the story I read of an explorer called Ngātoro-i-rangi who climbed a mountain and he said to his sisters to bring him a kete full of fire because he was cold but he ran past three baskets of fire already that's why he only has one.

Ngatoro-i-rangi was a brave explorer. He was a expert at many things. He knew about stars and the sea, and magic. Many years ago when the first people came and made Aotearoa their home, Ngatoro-i-rangi sails his Waka all the way from Hawaii. When he arived in Aotearoa he set off  to explore the new land. He found a place with a huge lake and many mountains. Today, we call that place Taupo.
In order for him to claim these places he needed help from his sister back in Hawaiki. With magic the sisters were able to send  the Basket of Fire through the Gods all the way to Aotearoa!
With Kete of fire it helps Ngatoro-i-rangi able to claim the mountains.
