Area and perimeter

This week we have been learning Area and Perimeter.

Maths Maintenance

For the past 4 weeks back at school we have been doing maths maintenance.That is where we get daily 10 questions and we have to solve them.The hardest question was the roman numerals but I finally learned them.I normally get 10/10 here is one from last week. I find maths Maintenance really fun. Place value is also what we have to do in the maths maintenance. For example if I had 2,801 what is the value of the 8? It would be 800 because when you do ones, tens, hundreds. So it would be 800👍.

Swimming Sports

On Friday the 15th Grey Main School had their Swimming sports. It went on all day.
The races I entered for was:
25m breaststroke
50m breaststroke

25m Backstroke
50m Backstroke

25m Freestyle
50m Freestyle

I was in the relay too in my team I had Rowan, Nikau, Zyah and myself. I came first in all my races but we came 3rd in the relay.That means I am going to Grey District and make my school proud!

Loud shirt day

What is loud shirt day?!

Loud shirt day is when you get to wear bright clothes to school.

So today we are wearing mufti because it is for everyone who is deaf and they use the money for the cochlear implant.

So we all hope that we have enough money to save him.

First week of PrEP

This week has been really busy because Grey Main School has had PrEP going on.Some people in The Mamaku Hub have chosen to go to Pohutukawa or go to Rata. I went to R1 where my sister is in that class we are making Tic Tac Toe,Photo holders and candle holders with cavemen around the sides. I have also made a PrEP Journal for me so I I can remember what I did.With the PrEP Journal we have to write what we have done. For example R1 were painting rocks for the photo  holders we painted them Blue,Purple,Red.Yellow and orange. The black ones are for the Tic Tac Toe game.
Here is my PrEP slide and some photos what people have made and are selling.

Marae trip

On Tuesday Mamaku 3 went to Arahura Marae.
We had to walk slowly into the Marae because it shows respect to the Ancestors that have passed away.
When we went inside the Wharenui we were singing a song to the people on the other side. We sang Te Aroha. After we had to Hongi which is a nose to nose kiss in Maori. We had to do a Karakia to show respect to the Maori people and bless god for this food.
We then went back to the Wharenui and we did our Mihi. Some of us had to do a Mihi.
After we went outside to get a photo. Matua T then talked about the carvings in the body of Tuhuru which is the name of the Marae. When you look up there is the Spine of Tuhuru and then there are the Ribs.After that we then came to say Goodbye and wish to come back.

Drawing reflection

When Mamaku 3 did this we got asked to do a drawing reflection in our writing books by reading a piece of writing and think what this picture is. This is the paragraph I choose to draw about: "She climbed down the steep stairs and silently approached the great Tower. The walls rose out of the sandy ground like a soldier standing to attention" I choose to do the middle paragraph because it looked like the most interesting paragraph.
