Tree Huts

Kia ora,

Today at Ohaeawai Primary School in Team Moana we have been learning how to use adjectives to describe a mood and atmosphere. Here is a picture of our tree house that my group made and the adjectives to describe the mood. Can you guess the mood and atmosphere?

Math problems

Kia ora,

We have been learning about how to use Compatible Numbers. Compatible Numbers are any two numbers which add together to make a Tidy Number 
(a  number which ends in zero).  We had to choose two Compatible Numbers and another number. Then we had to think of a word problem which used our numbers and give the problem to a buddy to solve. Mrs Ogle, our maths facilitator, said this is called 'posing problems'. 43+7+54=104   Corrin had 43 toy cars and Mikayla had 54 toy cars and Mrs A had 7 toy cars. How many toy cars are there altogether?  

43+7=50

50 +54=104

Ski trip

 Kia ora,

Last week we went on the ski trip. We got into groups and we each had one parent. I got to learn how to Ski. I learned this by listening to my ski teacher. I found going over the ramp hard.The learning behind the task is to listen to instructions and you might learn to ski. Here is my photo of me skiing.

 

 

Tectonic Plates

 Kia ora,

Last week we did an experiment to learn about plate tectonics and how the movement of the plates help shape New Zealand. I learned about a Pacific plate. Here are some photos from my experiment. Can you guess what we used for our experiment. 

Head Measuring

Months & Weeks

Science 1:Me and my DNA

This term for science we are learning all about how the human body works and how special we all are. We are also trying to learn how to think and act more like a scientist. So, Miss Fletcher asked us to look at our faces in the mirror and write down notes about what we look like. The information had to be precise and clear so that when someone read it, it would help them find the person it described quickly. It was a bit like being a detective. You had to look and notice things carefully.

Miss Fletcher said that what we look like depends on our mother and father. Making a new human is a bit like making a cake.  You get some ingredients from your mum and some from your dad. The ingredients are called DNA. Everybody’s cake is different to everyone else’s. 

Miss Fletcher said the person with the most efficient description was Andrew J as he wrote: My hair is 1cm long all over. He is the only student in Team Moana with a haircut like that so he was able to be identified very easily. You can read my description below. The sentences highlighted in blue are the ones that Miss Fletcher said were not precise and clear enough.  Eight people said they could recognise me from my description.

Maths: Geometry Safari

This term for maths we have been learning about 2D and 3D geometry. Manea, Ngarino, Kayla and I were in a team. We went on a Geometry Safari around the school grounds to see how many 2D  and 3D shapes we could find. Then we had to write what we had found into a table. You can see ours below.

Team Moana Geometry Safari

We went on a Geometry Safari to see how many 2D and 3D shapes we could find in the playground. Here is our list of what we found and where.

 I was in a group with Kayla, Manea, Ngarino and Mikalya. We found out that geometry is everywhere!
