Past and present

For the past and present we had to explain about Kupe, Captain James cook, and what it is like today to use boats. and we had to also explain some of the problems  about there different transportation. Kupe sailed to New Zealand in a waka. James cook sailed in a big navy vessel. And modern boat us motors and gas to to move the boat. some problems with using a waka or the endevour is that the wind could stop and it could also stop the boat and it could stop moving. And of the problems with modern day boat are that when the motor for the boat is turned on gas an other chemicals could leak into the ocean and pollute it.  

Venn Diagram

LI: To compare and contrast

Today in reading we worked collaboratively to complete this Venn diagram. We had to write the differences of Kupe and James cook and in the middle we had to write what they both have in common. some differences are that they both sailed in diferent boats kupe sailed in a waka and James cook sailed in the endevour and something they have I common is that they both found New Zealand by mistake and are well respected leaders.

Question Matrix

LI: To think critically about an image by writing my own questions that will help me find the information in these pictures

Today in reading we are learning about Kupe and Captain James cook. We had to look at some images of there boats and we had to come up with question and put them onto the question matrix. we had to make questions with what, were, witch, who, why, and how. using cretin words in each column theses question that we wrote had to relate to our learning about Kupe and Captain James cook.

Thinking team

Today in maths we worked together in our thinking groups to find the answer to

two maths questions. In the image you would see my group working together.

Our group, The numbertricians group is working out the value in our name.

To do this we used addition strategies and our place value knowledge. 

In the second activity we worked as a group to put the population numbers

in order. To do this we used our place value knowledge.
