Matariki - Week 10

Yesterday my hub did Matariki, I did Rakau and weaving a Matariki star. 
The cool thing about making stars and doing Rakau was that when you are making stars you got help when you got stuck and you got to pick your own colours. 
For Rakau you could sing and play fun games and you got to make your own moves, and the thing I thought was challenging was for making stars it was hard to remember how to turn the paper the right way to make a star and for Rakau it was hard to figure out the right time to pass the stick.
When I started the stars I felt wierd that I wouldn't do it right but I did it and when I started Rakau I was feeling really worried because I thought that I couldn't do it but I could.
And when I finished I felt good that I did it.

Kiwi - Week 8

Kiwis are the national bird of NZ. 

Kiwi predators are cats, dogs, tigers, possums, Kea and big birds. 

If you want to see a kiwi, go to the aquarium or go to Mount Bruce,  there you can see them. 

When kiwis are born, some are moved, if they are endangered they are moved to Mount Bruce and the people there look after them until they are more smarter.   The people there let them go and they stay at Mount Bruce.

                                                                            Brown Kiwi.

Area - Week 6

Area is how many square units are inside a shape.

People use Area to measure land, doors, rugs and how big a pool is. 

If you don't know how to use Area you make a square or a rectangule, but I would stick with a square because it is the most easiest sharp to work with.  So when you make your square  you can count it or skip count, and after that you add them up using timetables...and there you go, you know how to do area.

Here is an e.g.
You have a square and it has six columns and four rows, so six times four = 24.

                                             

                                                                                             






Columns down
                                                                         

Rows across.
