Today on the 23 of June we room 7 when on a trip to Te Oro. What were we doing at Te Oro was Weaving stars made out of harakeke and we were making designs on rocks. And there was another team making designs on paper and I was in the team that was weaving. How we started so when we arrived at Te Oro there was a lady telling us what we were going to do today. After that she did a Karanga and we slowly walked into the room that we were going to do art in. When we were in the art room we sat on a mat and then they introduced themselves and then we just started getting into groups and then we started doing our art activities. So I was in the group that was weaving and what we did first. We had to do a karakia After we did a Karakia we got into weaving. We were making a Whetu witch is a star and this is what the Whetu looked like

It was really fun and interesting to make. I enjoyed it at Te Oro a lot. 1 and a half hours later we thanked the people that helped us create our art and then we sang a Matariki song and then we left and had lunch and then returned to school.

 What Taha did for maths today

Today we were working on how to solve maths questions and we were in groups and we were trying to solve the maths problems and this is how some people did their strategy.

This is one of the strategies a team did.

Our strategy was 

1 ½ + 1 ½ = 3m

We just keeped adding ½ till we got our answer !!

The things that Mr and Mrs Gock help with in new zealand ?

What did they contribute to new Zealand 
Mr and Mrs Gock helped New Zealand in many ways and they were helping New Zealand by keeping our fruit and vegetables fresh. How they helped keep our vegetables and fruit fresh with the broccoli if you were to pick a broccoli out of the ground it would turn yellow but they found a way to keep it green and fresh there way of doing that was butting it n a chilly bit with ice and that's why you see broccoli in a freezer when you go shopping. With the fruit they put stickers on the fruit 
 If the sticker has a five-digit number beginning with 9, it means that your fruit was grown organically and is best for consumption. How Did the Stickers Come About? It's the International Federation for Produce Standards that gives out the stickers all across the world; it enables standardizing of the process.

Amber’s grandmother is cooking a roast for their Sunday dinner. It weighs 4 kilograms and needs to be cooked for 40 minutes for every kilogram of weight. She puts it in the oven at 9.50 am. What time will the roast be ready?

How I got the answer

4x40= 160

160min 2hr 40min

So the roast started cooking at 9:30 

And it took 40min but you have to add the 

4 kilograms because it doesn't take 40min for the whole roast to cook cause you have to cook the roast parts 4 for times and 4x40= 160 and if you plus 9:30 and 2hr + 40 min that will be 2:40 and that when the roast will be ready.

Morning tea reading ?

Every day after morning tea our class room 7 read for 10 minutes , we all have our own book to read the name of my book is Bulging brains. It is really interesting to read because it tells you and shows you how your brain works !!

                     

Heres my book :)

What is happening around the world !!

research about harakeke !!

1.  Just like people the baby of two flax bushes may have different  

Actress from their parents! Seedlings also take longer to mature, about 6-8 years. The plants grown from root 

Stock takes about half that time.

When the plant is growing it starts to grow a baby in the middle how it 

2. How it starts the grandparents are big flax and if you see a harakeke you will see the ones on the outside of the harakeke are the grandparents and then if you see the ones that are in the middle are the parents of the baby in the middle.

And then the harakeke will start growing into a big flax.

And then if you look on the bottom of the harakeke you will see that they're stuck together and that's one family and then if you look one the other side of the harakeke you will see that there's another flax stuck together and that is a different family but all together it's one big family but its not stuck together.

So this is one family and you can see that in this small family there's 5 and if you look at the back of the harakeke you will see that the harakeke at the back of it is not stuck and that means that it's still a part of the family but it just a different part of the family.

planinng my paragraph !!

1. How long does it take to grow harakeke

2. Why is it tapu to stand on harakeke
