In Te Maunga we have been doing measurement. We learnt about perimeter and area. If you were to measure a fence then you would measure the perimeter, which is the outside and the area would be the inside. My favourite part was taking pictures for my DLO. Have you ever learnt about measurement?

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori
In Te Maunga we have been learning Te Reo Maori. I learnt some new vocabulary and I also found out that I was better at puzzles than I thought I was. One thing I liked doing was cracking the code. What did you do during Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori?

Lockdown
In lockdown I did a lot. Some days I did school work and others I played outside or I tidied up the house. I learnt about bees and wasps. One thing I liked doing in lockdown was baking and playing outside. What did you do in lockdown?

Matariki Friday
In Te Maunga we have been doing Matariki activities. We learnt about some different Matariki traditions. One thing I really liked doing was making poi. It was very fun. Next time I'll try harder to tie my poi properly because it kept coming apart.

Wonderful measurement!
In Te Maunga we have been doing measurement. We learnt about time, degrees (celcius) and how to measure things with different objects or even your hand, finger or foot. My favourite part was when we got to make our own paper clocks. I tried hard to follow direct instructions. Have you ever learnt about measurement?
Extraordinary Astronomy!
In Te Maunga we have been doing Astronomy. We learnt about planets and stars. One thing I really liked learning about was how the moon is made out of bits of earth. I tried really hard to quote directly from the text. Have you ever learnt about Astronomy?

Outstanding Team Building!
In Te Maunga we have been doing team building activities. We learnt how to communicate properly. One thing that I really liked was doing and activity called Air Band where we had to choose any song and act it out (one person had an air guitar, one person was playing air drums, another person had to lip sync the words to the song and another person could dance, conduct or do whatever they wanted.) It was very fun. I tried hard to share my ideas in the most understandable way possible.
