Tane Mahutas perspective In the begining the only light was from Te Marama the moon. Hi my name is Tane this is what happened. "We need to kill them!"said Tumatauenga god of war. Me and my brothers disagreed. My brothers and I want to separate our parents so we can see the sun. Its hard because Rangi and Papa are in love and they won’t let go of each other. All their children were born in darkness. Both of them are way to strong but if we try we can push them apart. I used my legs to push them apart and then my brothers pushed  Ranginui as well. They pulled him away from Papatuanuku. But my brother Tawhirimatea god of wind didn’t want them to be apart but he knew what to do so his Dad wouldn’t get hurt. So he blew Rangi  away so then after years in the dark with the only light Te Marama there was light. Tawhirimatea was angry so he made lightning then 7 and he threw the lightning at Ranginui and stars were formed. There names were Waiti, Waita, Uru-a-...

My Term 3 reflections about my learning: What helps me learn?    A little like me Quite like me Very much like me I know what I am good at I ask questions when I don’t understand I do my best all the time I take risks I share my ideas I treat other people with respect I help other people in my group I finish what I start I offer help before I am asked I make choices to support my learning I take responsibility for my choices One thing I will remember about what I have learnt over the last term is DMIC because I can ways how to explain my writing or my maths. Don’t forget to use ‘because’. A strategy that really helped me learn better is counting is 2’s 3’s 4’s because it is easier and fast. Don’t forget to use ‘because’. If I could do something again differently, it would be to go back to the marae because we learn new activites that the Maori people did like flax.  It is important for me to learn...

(Write your name here)’s Maths learning Story The Maths problem:   We were trying to make a rectangle garden with a 36m perimeter when we looked at the Te Rito garden problem.   Lepale drew shape A. Jeremiah drew shape B and said it had a bigger area because it looked slightly bigger. Lepale wasn’t so sure. Who is right and how can you prove it? Tangaroa thought that this shape would make an interesting garden.  What is the perimeter of this garden? What is the area? The story of the Maths problem: (use your own words) Lepale drew  shape a, Jeremiah drew shape b to see who had a bigger area B is 8 x 10m a was 7 x 11 m. What we were trying to find out: To see who had the biggest area of the rectangle. How we solved the problem: First we decided the area is the space inside the rectangle.  We measure that in square meter = 1m x 1m Then we drew shape b 7m x 11x = 77m2 Then we drew shape a 10m x 8...

Bothamley Park Learning story Problem: How can we look after and support our local park? How can I use my ‘voice’ to make a difference? My Learning: I noticed  there were little bugs that lived in the river but they were dead by the time we got them. I found out….that dragonflies were born in water and then when they got wings that is when they can’t b reath in the water any more. I think we should clean the water and make sure they don’t die. Now I will try to clean the water and talk so everyone will help.
