Americas cup 2021

This week I learnt about the Americas cup.

First, my group and I wrote a few main facts on who, what, when, where, and why about the Americas cup. Main 

Next, we did summarising. We wrote down 20 important words, then we chose 6 important words on that list. Then we turned the 6 words into a sentence. 

Lastly we evaluated the information by answering 3 questions.

I like using evaluating and summarising because it helped me learn a few facts about the Americas cup the most useful strategies was summarising.

                           

The Highway Rat

Visualisation is creating pictures in your head. This helps understand what we read.

Highway Rat is about a Rat who is greedy and steals everyone food. He learns his lesson and everyone lives happily.

My visualisation is different to others because the Rat teeth is sharp he wears no shoes he has sharp toenails.

We have different visualisation because we all imagined it as our own picture.

AFL training

 Group B went to the field with coach Andre to start AFL. 

First we learnt how to drop kick to do this skill keep the lace away from your face and drop the ball and kick the bottom. 

After kicking the ball we did the skill handball  to do this hold the ball in your non dominant hand and yous your dominant hand to hit the ball in the air. 

Then we learnt how to tackle but we did it on our knees so know one gets hurt to do this you rap your arms around them like a bear hug and slowly push them to the ground. A tip off is when a ref throws the ball in the air and you have to try be the first to hit the ball down.

I need to work on my aim for kicking because when ever I kick the ball it goes left instead of straight.

Reading large numbers

 Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The position of a digit determines it's value. When we say numbers we group them within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds, and nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Symphony Maths

This week we did Symphony maths I completed 2.3 stages.

We did adding numbers and blocks and subtracting numbers.

I also did putting numbers in the right place.

I thought it was easy but I messed up a few times and had to restart

    

Mihi whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significent aspeds to the place. The Maunga (mountain) , Awa (river) and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.  

Introducing Ingoa (name) , Oku tipuna (ancestored place) and where you live is important for the audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitor/s that are being welcomed. 

It is important to end with a warm welcome so the visitors know that there is no hostility in the 2 groups being together.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of a visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections
