Marble

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about science. For science this week we have been learning about variables. Variables is something you change that affects your result. My group, Fonz and Kingi made a ramp that had to roll exactly 110cm. Our class also had a competitions for who got the most points, the points were 5,3,2 and 1. I think my group done well by working together and helping each other, next time I think my group should not just let the marble go because it changes the result every time. Here's some pics.

Maths

This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to use the strategy doubling and halving . sharing For maths we had to make a DLO about what we have learnt, we also had to work hard to do it or we would have to stay in. I was struggling because I didn't know how to explain why it was the same number, I eventually got it in the end because my friend told me how to do it.

Ki O Rahi

Last week on Friday the year 7&8 went to Ki O Rahi at the Kaikohe Lindvart Park

on the way there their was lots of traffect but it was heaps of bikers. After a while we arrived and we all had to meet so we can set up for the day. After we set up all the schools merged into one big circle so we could harm up. Then we got into a game, we verst Kaikohe Christian School and we lose by one but it was a great game.  

Robbet

In Te Ngahere we had a visitor called Robbet come to our school. He talked about his life and how he was a great snowboarder in his 20s, when he was little he saw his dad die in front of him in a car crash. His friends also went down the wrong path for example taking drug and going to jail. But on the bright side when he was older  he was also sponsored by Samsung, Apple, Vodafone and other big compernese. What I like about this is how he took the right path and didn't follow his friends.   

Kupe

In Te Ngahere we have been working on Panui. For panui this week we have been learning about the history of Aotearoa/New Zealand. We also learnt about Kupe, Nukutawhiti, James Cook and Abel Tasman. Me and my group choose Kupe and how he got to New Zealand we also found interesting facts such as Kupe was a 10th century figure who was involved in the polynesian discovery of New Zealand. Here's what we made.
