Skyner is sharing his understanding with the class. A good mathematician is somebody who shares his ideas and is able to give reasoning about how he got his answer. Skyner
I loved maths today. Here im working on ensuring that im showing every step i have taken to work out the answer. I feel confident enough to share my strategy with the rest of my friends. I have high expectations for myself and have set goals to achieve at high standard at 'national standards'.
Our class are so excited and full of energy after a great maths session this morning. Our books are full and our brains a full of knowledge. Next block, we are working on /google docs'.

Frankie is very proud of his work this morning during Bobby Maths.
We are learning about measurement. The idea is to look at using non standardized ways of measuring. We found this fun and enjoyed using a variety of things around the class to measure length and height.
Quayd Marsh showing his peers his strategy and how he got the answer. Quayd " i enjoy doing maths everyday because it makes me think hard about which strategy im going to use. I also feel good because i need to ensure that my fiends understand how to get the answer too.
We feel like scholars during maths time. I love maths.

Historical lesson with Matua Purcell
Matua Joseph is in charge of lunch today. Pizzas on the run as we have a busy day ahead of us. Angel Penewiripo |
Cooking Lesson at Waitangi
One thing that I recognized was the Samoan flag with the Rangatira flag. It symbolises the close relationship we have with our Pacific friends. Although Samoa does not have a Treaty, we know through Matua Des that Samoan people support our tangata whenua status and tautoko our kaupapa to honour the Tiriti O Waitangi.
