Conclusion On Our Novel
I really liked about was the adventures that the characters went and had exploring new things.
My favorite character was River, because she was a helper and was in most of the story, for me I felt like that she was he main character.
My highlights of the story was the Maori Kupu (Words) in the book, and it was throughout the story too, and their adventure was the most that stood out to me.
What I learnt about the book was the trees, of how the can be used for healing.
Kia Ora Koutou,
This week, in room 8, we have been reading books from Māori Minute, and this week’s book is ‘Pēhea, Pēna`. Every week we have to read the book first, and you can read it over and over but you have to try to understand the book you are reading. I have learned new words over time, just by reading a Māori book every week.
I really like reading new books and learning a lot of new words. Whenever I come across a new word I`ll try and find the meaning of that word. I come across so I can understand the story of the book better.
These are the slides that I have made, hope you enjoy them.

WALT: Multiplying Decimals to whole numbers.
This week we have been learning how to multiply decimals. We had to remember our numeracy strategies, for example, 0.8=8÷10=8 tenths. So when we were solving a problem we used our knowledge of how to multiply numbers. We also had to make sure the equal sign remained unerneath each other, so it is easy for others to read and understand our procedure.
At the start, I found this difficult. We did a session on how to multiply and divide by 10, 100, and 1000. If we multiply our number will get bigger, so the decimal point will move to the right. If we divide, the decimal point will move to the left. The number of zeros will tell use how many spaces in each direction it moves. Also, a ‘place holder’ of zero if needed.
Anyway, here are a few examples of me showing how I solved different problems. With practice i’ll become alot more confident at solving these types of math questions.
Kia ora koutou katoa,
This week I have been reading a book and learning the books words in Maori and researching what they mean. Also, I have translated the words that I did not know and I have learned new words by reading this book.
What I found interesting is that I didn’t know that ka maringi mai he ua ‘patapata’ – a heavy rain poured down. That was a new sentence I haven’t heard before.
Here is my reading post. Hope you enjoy!

Kia Ora Koutou,
Here is the mahi I did for my Maro. My poster shows the different parts of it, e.g the taura, whenu, whati stitch, how we whakaataahua our maro. I love doing mahi toi, so this wasn’ hard for me. I actually had to help alot of my class because they got stuck alot. I think the trickiest part for everyone was the whati stitch. The whenu were quite flimsy so when you weave to bring strands together you had to make sure that you had the right amount of whenu and that the strings locked them in place. We measured the length by multiplying the width of our whenu by eight.
Anei taku mahi,
Nā Keogh.
