Today, we learnt heaps about Invertebrates and Vertebrates. We learnt about the different habitats of many animals too. I loved today's session because animals are one of the basic things I used learn when I was little. At the end we had a fun Kahoot game to play as well. I place 3rd but I still had a phenomenal time.

For Science, we have been learning about native plants. This is Uinita's research about native plants. She has collected some wonderful facts through her research.
In Aotearoa, we have an abundance of native plants with many uses. Pitara has done some fantastic research about our native plants and created these slides to teach our blog viewers about them.
Lockdowns can be a drag but not if you make it fun with your bubble members. Our movie this year is about what we have been doing to keep active, happy and engaged while on lockdown. Check out our stories through our news report.
Pitara had some guiding questions to research about the The Treaty of Waitangi. Here are her responses on these slides. She has done some good reading into the Treaty of Waitangi and what happened before, during and after it was signed.
Today, we had a bit of fun solving this problem.
Mr Nath gave Mrs Tofa the alphabet saying each letter had a value. He told her she had to work out the value of each letter using two equations. He said:
A = 3
B = 12
C = 27
D = 48
E = 75
F =108
A = 3 1.5 + 1.5 (=3)
B = 12 2.5 +2.5 (5)(=12)
C = 27
D = 48
E = 75
A = 3 (1X3) = 3 (x 2) = 3
B = 12 (2x2) = 4 (x3) = 12
C = 18
D = 48
E = 75
A = 3 3 - 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
B = 12 12 - 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
C = 27 27 - 2 = 25 + 2 = 27
D = 48 48 - 2 = 46 + 2 = 48
E = 75 75 - 2 = 73 + 2 = 75
F = 108 108 - 2 = 106 + 2 = 108
Here is a solution we agreed on at the end
A = 3 ( 1 x 1)= 1 x 3=3
B = 12 (2 x 2)= 4 x 3=12
C = 27 (3 x 3)= 9 x 3=27
D = 48 (4 x 4)=16 x 3= 48
E = 75 (5 x 5)=25 x 3= 75
F =108 (6 x 6)= 36 x 3= 108
