Number Talk

For this week’s number talks we had discussed the different types of numbers. Starting with counting/natural numbers starting from 1 to infinte. The main thing we had focused on was integers. Integers are where you count both ways including negative and positive counting. 

Term Tui probability

Today for maths Team Tui had learned about probability through activities. The first rotation we had was a game called greedy pig. We had to roll a single dice for a number and had to add them up to 50 or more. If we had rolled a 1 we had to restart from 0 and go again. The second rotation was playing cards where we had a sheet of cards we had to pick up for example, a king, a card more than 3 e.g .  The last rotation was flipping bottles. For this game we had to flip a water bottle and tally up our results into our success and failures.

 

Matariki poem

Earlier this week Team Tui started their learning on Matariki.Team Tui’s focus for the last couple of days was to learn on the history of Matariki. For Writing this week we had to write poems on our senses and the stars of Matariki. For my poem I had chosen the senses Felt, heard and seen along with the stars Ururangi, Wai-puna-rangi and Waita. My poems describe my experience since my childhood days. 

Kelly sport-Rugby league

Room 13 had an exciting morning as our class had Kelly sports Rugby League.  All of our class had tried techniques some of us weren’t so confident about but He who stands, lives and He who sits, perishes. There were different warm ups and may I say my knees burn. The first warm up was like Bull rush. As an example we need to crawl on our knees and someone will tackle us and if we fall on the floor we become a tagger. Afterwards we repeated this game but on our feet. Of Course I got bumped off and fell on my back but I had fun. Likewise this was good practice for the people who are going to the rugby tournament this week. Sometime later on it had turned into a game boys vs girls. Us girls had 1 point but then the coaches changed it to mixed teams. On the other hand people turned on their pro mode and went to try hard. In the end all of us had enjoyed our time we had.
