In Te Ngahere we have been doing something called E.P, this stands for Education Perfect. On Education Perfect we have been learning how to speak Maori. We had to make a DLO and screencastify ourselves saying the Maori words, we were learning to say the alphabet, greetings and place names in Maori. This site has really helped me pronounce the Maori words correct and properly.
You should use Education Perfect to help you with lots of stuff.
In Te Ngahere we have been doing a thing in our class called smart surfing. Smart surfing is a thing about how you type your searches into Google. It really helps because it will give you a more accurate information than typing in the whole question, for example “what is the world's largest spider” you have to pick the key words like world, largest and spider then you just need to type in your keywords and then you have a more accurate information. It really does help and you can know things better. I wanted to type in a question like what are long tailed bats threats so all I typed in was long tailed bat threats and it came up with a much better answer. I learnt lots of different stuff by doing smart surfing and it made me more successful.
Now try this out yourself.
In Te Ngahere we have been doing maths. We had to do 10 questions and we could pick any strategy to solve this problem. There was addition and subtraction problems what I learnt was that it is really hard to solve subtraction problems by using place value partitioning . I solved all the problems using algorithm and it was really cool. Then when we had finished we got a partner and we had to mark each others work. I really enjoyed doing this because it was helping we relearn what I already knew. It is the best strategy to use for me because it is the easiest one I know. In this I also learnt how to use different strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.
Yesterday in our class we went to a place called Greens in Paihia. We went to Greens because it was someone's birthday and his name is Shivam. His parents owned the restaurant called Greens and they offered us to go there for lunch. After we sat down about 3 minutes later we got cans of Coke and Sprite. Then soon we got trays of butter chicken, rice and naan bread. I was very excited. I took my first bite of the food and it was FABULOUS I started stuffing my face and the naan bread was also as good as the butter chicken. I then took a sip of my drink I was full after an amazing dish. But then it just kept getting better, Shivams parents then came out with a big trolley filled with easter eggs. After that we gave Shivam a birthday card and we started singing happy birthday. Then after eating we said thank you by singing some waiata for his parents and then we left.
Have you ever been to Greens before?
