Dear Mrs Lindsay

I am writing to you because, I  think we should get the Maths Number Hub and all the stages because, it will help us learn better, it will save the teacher's time, and let us learn quicker.

It will help our learning because number hub will let us learn better and quicker, for example when I had a goal I went on to number hub and learnt it the day I got my goal.

Also it will help us learn easier because ,instead of the teachers making a slide and finding activities for us, we can just go on number hub and practice. For example every day and night Whaea Becks has to plan our maths of the day, and give us activities videos and look through books to find things to do for math’s, but we can just go on number hub and it is already there.

The whole school could also use it because the seniors can do it on the chrome books and the juniors can get it on the iPad. For example the juniors get to pick their goal that they can learn quicker, instead of looking through pages and pages in a book, and that will give them less time to learn it.

It is quicker because there are a lot of ways to explain it how to do one goal. You just need to type up number hub and it it there, you don’t need to sign up or anything.

If you think about it, it is like 3 dollars per child. For example we can even do a bake sale and we might get even more then we need.

We don’t have to sit on the mat to long, For example in maths we have to sit on the mat for ages telling Whea becks what we are doing, but now she knows, it is either number hub or a workshop.

If only if we had an amazing principal that will get us all the stages in number hub

So that's why I think we should have all the stages in maths number hub.

The thing I did well was writing the reasons.
The thing I could do better is writing more examples.

Sincerely Liam. B

friendship

In Te Maunga we have been learning about friendships and relationships. In your reading groups we read a story about 5 girls and how there life went. The thing I was good at is answering the questions and the thing I could do better is listening more. First of all we had to read it ten answers questions as we go, then we did 4 activity's .

Inquiry

In Te Maunga we have been learning about celebrations. I did my one with a girl named Indie.

Treaty Grounds writting

Wohoo the day was here, me and my class got to walk to waitangi. When we were walking I could here all the cars and trucks going past. In 10 or 5 minutes we got over the bridge and to the treaty grounds. Then I had to stand in line with my excitement inside of me waiting for everyone to get a sticker. “Finally” I said to myself. We got to walk through the gates and play a game they did back then.

My first game I played was weaving the kite and playing with it. Step one, we had to get into groups of 2. My partner was Indie, Step 2, me and indie had to pick a mat to work on, Step 3 we got a piece of neko. ( neko is a type of plant that you weave). Step 4 we had to rip of the 2 bottom leaves of the neko. Step 5 on each side me and indie had to grab a neko leaf and went over under over under until there is a little bit of it left and tie it to the stim. We did that for about half an hour and then the kite was done. Step 6 play with your kite.

The second game I played was back in the old days when mori warriors were in the forest they used power shells to lessen. To make one you need 2 power shells a bead and string, Step 1 get the 2 power shells and open the power shell and plop the bead in. Then tie the string to it and done do it again. We had to pick another player and get blindfolded then we shook is every 5 seconds or every time I moved. But you have to tag your opponent. When I was blindfolded I like danced trying to tag him, but he tagged me first.

The next game I played was called mātau māui the way to play it is, get 2 long ropes enough to as many people on in as you want. Then when someone says matau jump to the right. Then when someone says maui jump left. Then the will say Te whanganui jump in the middle. First time through I came 4, 2 time through I came 2, 3 time I came 1. It was fun. Suddenly I realized that we have to go back to school. “Noooooo!!!” I said. So we started to head home.

As soon as I got to school I stuffed my face with a sandwich and ran to bus.

I was learning to write a recount from my tripe to waitangi.

The thing I could do better is adding more detail.
The thing I did well was putting the events in the right order.                                                   The End.

Student Lead Workshop

On the 14 of June I ran a student lead workshop. A student lead workshop is when a kid teachers another kid some thing that all ready know, but the other kid does not. So I tort 2 people, and they needed to know there fraction symbols. The people I was teaching was my friend's Rikesh and Indie. They where having races to see who could say the answers first. The thing I did well was saying is it right or wrong and giving them hints, also making them never give up.
The thing I could of done better was thinking of fraction symbols for them.
Indie was the first one to get all of them right so I let her do her work. After Indie went I started doing more  fraction symbols for Rikesh, and putting illes of symbols. Until he new them off by heart.

collaborationis

 In Te mauga we have been learning to collaborate.  collaborationist means that you have to help one and other. Our teacher found this game called brake out. Brake out is when you have 5 locks. and you have to unlock the locks by looking for clues around the room. First we did not sick seed, but second we did, and it said Ice-cream's. Miss Lindsay had ice creams for us. 
Miss Lindsay is our principle. Me and my class did well because first we did not  collaborate but we learnt our lessen and we did it in the end.
In writing we  collaborate by working on the same google doc and giving feedback to one and other.
Also for our toku ako and your hand in sheet.

Get Nz Writing

On friday our class did get nz writing.✍ We just had to do a test and it said what we could do this is my example, if you could wiggle your ears or not, and can you roll your tong, so you get the idea.After that it said whats the longest word you know.

The thing I did well was answering the qusetion's. the thing I could of done better was the longest word I know, and that was Checkout.
we had to get a post card each in the class and there were 25 of us, and there were 35 post card, so some people had to go twice. 
we had to right a poem on the back of the card, and mine was, Liam is a Toyota doing parkour.

Liam's Tryathlon

Last Friday at Paihia School and Paihia beach we did a tryathlon.

First of all when we were getting ready Mrs Williams had a big talk with us.  She told were the boundaries were and there will be marshals telling you where to go, she said were to put your stuff so we won't lose it.

Then we went down to the beach and swam until someone in the water tells us to turn. Then we hopped out of the water and ran like the flash back to the school.

Then we got back to the school and swiped a bike and rode it around the field 2 times.  When I was riding my legs were  burning like the sun, some people went around the field more than 2 times so they could get more and more muesli bars.

The best thing I did was the run. 

When everyone finished the tryathlon we had to go onto the court for a prize. Everyone who participated in the tryathlon got a….Ice-cream.There was a Dory ice cream,a Paddle Pop what people didn't like it,and there was Magma.

In the end I felt fantastic.

I think I clould of done better at the bike ride.
