The thing that I found most challenging was using percentages to solve the equation.

Some strategies we did:
12 ÷ 3 =1 2/3
. Find a fraction of another fraction by multiply.
. Describe and show remaining tenths, hundredths and thousandths as decimals fractions and relate them to replace value order.

Treaty of Waitangi

Te Reo, Term 4 2016

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marea is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.

We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	Maori way of doing things
Pōwhiri	Welcoming visitors on the Marae
Tangata whenua	People of the Marae
Manuhiri	Visitors to the Marae
Tūrangawaewae	A well known Maori concept
Whanaungatanga	A place of belonging and family connection
Manaakitanga	To make travelers welcome
Aroha	Love

See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.

Something I would like to learn more about the marae is explore all the different parts on the marae

Parliament with Miss O

Parliament

This term we have been learning about Parliament. We have looked at the difference between government and parliament, NZ parliament, who is in government, how our government works and we compared democracy to dictatorship.

Three things that I learned are NZ parliament are:

• John key can get kicked out of parliament by the Speaker. (David Carter)
• The Clerks help out the Speaker by informing him with the rules.
• Serjeant-at-Arms carries the Mace into parliament and introduces the Speaker at the start of a session and protects the Speaker.

Here is the link to my compare and contrast map explaining the difference between democracy and dictatorship.

Koru Games Reflection 2016

KORU GAMES

The activity I played was Netball - A team

My 2 highlights:

1. The food shops there because after our very last game we got junk food.

2. Being able to play all the games and coming 6th out of 32 teams.

I am proud of how well our team played together because we played to the rules which were to be fair, kind and have fun.

Some advice I would give to the years 7's for next year is to make sure you put sunblock everywhere and to not worry about the outcome and make sure you have fun.
