Te Mauru e taki nei

To celebrate Matariki we had a kite making competition where the children were invited to make a kite at home with their whanau and then bring it to school. Te mauru e taki nei had a kite making day so that we could all have a go at flying a kite. Whanau were also invited to visit our learning space.

As part of our learning in Maths, we are learning to explain what we are thinking and how we came up with our answers. We have found this can be a bit tricky, - but that's ok because we know about being in the learning pit. On Tuesday we could choose between two math problems to solve. 1) A quarter of the flowers in the garden are orange . What might this look like? and 2) A quarter of the cars in the car yard are blue . What might this look like? Adele and Adhithi then recorded themselves talking about what they were thinking.
