Pāngarau - Ngā Hautau! Fractions!

Tēnā koutou katoa. Welcome to our Blogpost and Rūma 4s fractions. 

We did a wero (challenge) about ngā haurau (fractions). We had to work out what 1/2 was. We had to figure out the meaning of a 1/2 and 1/4. We had to fold pieces of paper, pour some water, and figure out halves of porowhita (circle), block towers, and shapes. We had to fill up half of a box, count fake money, and cut play-dough in half. We had to be problem solvers and critical thinkers while we were doing the wero. 

Here are some photos down below of us doing our wero. Thank you for coming to look at Rūma 4s fractions. Please give us some whakaaro (ideas). Ka Kite.

Learn ~ Create ~ Share

Here are some pics of us sharing our learning and creating about Pā with some special people in our

Hornby Primary School whānau. 

We chose to share our mahi with Mr Roberts, Kersten, Room 2,  and our tuakana, Rūma 3. 

We told our manuhiri how we had been Critical Thinkers, and Problem Solvers throughout the kaupapa.

Ngā mihi :-D

He Rā Tino Mīharo! Rāapa 4th July

On Rāapa 4th July, we had a super fun day. We had manuhiri visit us from Te Waka Unua kura. We also ate lots of delicious kai, and had a fun afternoon reward for the whole school. 

Here are some things we liked best about the day.

Yesterday my whole entire class we got to meet a school. Their school was called Te Waka Unua. It was a long day for me and my class. I got to have a fun day as well. It was a fun day for my class.

Nā Nevaeh.

Inanahi Te Waka Unua school showed us some cool songs and a haka and so did Hornby Primary! I thought that was cool. We also had a lunch club shout! Haha, it was scrumptious. Nā Mikaere

Inanahi te kurā katōa had rā rekareka. I takaro ahau, māua ko AJ i te beyblades. We had Acid Anubis. Anubis is the best defense type. Nā Marino

Here are some things we liked best about the day.

Inanahi i  haere ahau ki te whare hakinakina. He pai ki ahau Te Waka Unua, our manuhiri . I te ahiahi it was ra rekareka. I did matariki art. It was amazing, me te harikoa.

Nā Arabella.

Inanahi i tae mai nga manuhiri o Te Waka Unua. He tino koi rātau kapahaka. He tino pai nga tamariki manuhiri. Kāore he pai ki ahau ētahi o ngā manuhiri. He tino tonotono ētahi tamariki i te futuporo, nā reira he tino tino ketekete ahau. I te mutinga o te fotu potoro, i haere rātou ki te kohanga reo maori. I te mutunga o te waka unua o te kapahaka,i haere rātou ki te whare kaumatua. Yesterday some visitors arrived from Te Waka Unua school. At the end of the day they went to a kohanga and an old people’s home.

Nā Shaun.

Hui - Whakaari - The Fall of Kaiapoi Pā

We shared all of our new learning with the rest of the school in our assembly last Friday. We created a play about the fall of Ngāi Tahu at Kaiapo Pā to Te Rauparaha and his tribe, Ngāti Toa. 

We worked very hard on our play and learning the haka. We would love to know what you thought of our whakaari (play) and this terrible pakanga (battle).
