Fact Opinion

We learnt how to use facts and opinions to understand the characters in a book.

First we listened to the book the The Highway Rat. 

Then we wrote the facts that happened in the book for our character. We then used our opinion to explain why the character might have done that.

Last we wrote the adjectives for the opinion to describe the character trait.

I enjoy the fact and opinion about the duck.

Visualisation-Highway Rat

 Visualisation is creating pictures in your head.This helps understand what we read.

Highway Rat is about a Rat who is greedy and steals everyone food.He Learns a lesson and everyone lives happily.

My Visualisation is different to others because they drew the rat differently

Place Value & Saying Numbers

 Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The position of a digit determirns it's value.When we say numbers we group then within the same house. For example is 15709 has fifteen thousands,seven hundreds & nine ones.

         

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronance big numbers properly.It also allows us to identify numbers before and after. 

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is Maori tern for a formal greeting.

Mihi Whakatau is a traditionally used for welcoming, introductions and openings. It is undertaken by the tangata whenua (local inhabitants).

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects 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 visitors that are being welcomed.

Being respectful of the land, the people and the purpose of the visit will ensure long lasting relationships and connections.
