Place Value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.
The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group then within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds and nine ones.
I used an app called Symphony Maths. It makes our brains grow and makes us understand. There are many levels.
I did addition, subtraction, less and greater, the blocks . I finished level 1 and 2. It explained to us what to do and I needed to answer it. It was easy but I made some mistakes.
I need to practice on my less and greater.
I enjoyed playing symphony maths because it makes me understand and makes my brain grow.
Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.
Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming and opening.
It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants). The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspect to the place. The Maunga (mountain ), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.
Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku tipuna (ancestral 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 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.
I learnt about the Print Design Rules.

Next, I figured out which poster were good and bad with my partner.
Last I reorganised a poster to make it look good.

I completed Handwriting.
First I used a pencil and a book to write down the alphabets, numbers and the symbols.
Next I showed all the alphabets, numbers and symbols to Mr Wong and I need to practice some of the letters.
Lastly I made a new slide type down the information that I need to practice writing.
I wrote neatly, but I need to practice writing the letters D, P, J and K.
Today we went on the field with the coach Jack. We were in group A. We played 2 games with the coach and the teacher.
First the coach Jack showed us how to pass the ball by holding it and using our fist.
Next the coach Jack showed us how to kick the ball by holding it and aiming it with our feet.
After we played a game called octopus, there are three people who are the tiger and the other's are the octopus. The coach Jack needs to tell us what we are wearing and what we like. The person who is wearing and like them needs to run at the end of the line.
Then we need to be in 2 groups again. The one who is holding the ball is the one at the front and the other is at the back. We need to throw it at the teacher and the coach and get it back.
I enjoy the Octopus game because I like running around and being like a statue.
We learnt about the 3 Ps in the Treaty of Waitangi and how they apply our learning.
First Mr Ogilvie introduced the 3 Ps in the Treaty of Waitangi. They are Protection, Partnership and Participation.
Then in groups we wrote statements about the 3 Ps in LS1. LS1 figured out the 3 Ps are all connected. After that we used our group ideas and thought about how they connected me.
I chose these 3 statement because they will help me be successful with my learning in LS1. And I chose to work on the participation because I want to learn, understand and get smart.
