Hello! Talofa! Kia Ora! Hi! Malo e lele!
This week we have been soccer! We learned how to score a goal into the goal. We also learned how to dribble and trap the ball.
Some of us for maths learned area volume and perimeter. We found out that the perimeter is the outside of the shape and it is measured in cm, m, and mm. We learned about area which is measured in cm2, m2, and mm2. This uses a small 2 at the top. Then for volume this uses the small 3 at the top.
We are also doing Community for our theme this week. For the community, we are looking at who is part of the community. We looked into the police this week. We also looked up where we live, and our street names and if we could, we tried to find out how our street was named.
We started using Canva to create posters for our community hauora day.
Thank you

Kia Ora, Hi, Hello,!
This week we were learning about tsunamis! We found out that when techtonic plates crash into each other that is what causes an earthquake. The tectonic plates put pressure on each other and causes an eruption.
We made Haiku poems. To write a haiku poem you use 3 lines and practice syllables. 5, 7, 5. Below are the Haiku poems we made then published on google draw. We chose any natural disaster we wanted. Some of us chose blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, tornodos and hurricanes.
We learned to draw tsunami’s and this word has a silent letter.
