Maths Warm Up ~Tapa Cloth~

TASK DESCRIPTION:

For this mornings maths warm up we had this simple question to do! We had to figure out the perimeter of this tapa cloth and the area of it.

Since we could see that once side of each rectangle/square we added them up and got our answer for that side.

I got:

450cm or 4.5m for the perimeter

and for the area I got 12,600cm or to simplify it, it would be 126m

What being Burmese means to me!

 I’m quite proud to be Burmese, there’s loads of cool traditions in every culture but here are just some of mine! Being Burmese means a lot and can mean quite a lot of different things to different Burmese people but this is what it feels for me to be Burmese! 

Firstly let’s talk about dances and festivals, there are multiple popular festivals but the most known one is the water festival. It’s called a Thingyan! Although it’s not just us who celebrate it but it is quite a big deal in Myanmar/Burma. It usually takes place at the end of the year. Participating in our cultural dances means quite a lot and we learn a lot about our culture along the way! 

In Myanmar/Burma they use a different calendar, it’s known as the lunisolar calendar many countries/cultures use this as well! The months in the lunisolar calendar are based on the lunar months and the years are based on solar years! 

And so these are only a fraction of the reasons why I’m proud to be Burmese! 

Tongan Travel

TASK DESCRIPTION: For today's quick maths task we had to solve this simple question! :D

Term 2: Our First Live Assembly!

Today we had our first live assembly in 98 days, setting it up was what the prefects and rangatahi's did. Practising and getting ready to act in front of everyone was what we first did, the korero for this week is 'The Little Things Matter' and we decided to do a play. 

 Mr Burt, our talented and hard working principal became a member of the NZ order of merit, he also got awarded for his services for primary schools. 

We are all so proud of you Mr Burt! We are also so proud of Mrs Burt! without the both of them our school wouldn't be the way it is.

Thank you both for all the hard work you put into taking care of our school and others that are in the Manaiakalani  Cluster.

Lesson 2: Courgette Fritters!

Lesson 2: Attributes of a healthy and tasty meal Courgette fritters

We are learning to:

• use seasonal vegetables to make a healthier food product

• use food preparation and cooking skills

• describe key attributes of a food product

• work safely in the kitchen, using good hygiene practices

• work together as a team

• manage time effectively

• evaluate a food product.

Success criteria: “I am successful when I can...”

• use courgettes or other seasonal vegetables to make healthier fritters

• grate vegetables using a large-hole grater

• form similar-sized fritters, fry and then share these evenly amongst my team

• describe key attributes of courgette fritters

• work with my team to make healthier fritters safely, within time constraints.

Evaluate the outcome

What went well? Frying the fritters went better than me and Jedida expected. Getting the ingredients ready to mix went well too! Overall everything went well!

What did not go well? Nothing really went wrong, everything went better than what I expected.

What could be improved?  Maybe cleaning a bit more quicker and when frying the fritters maybe we could’ve made them smaller so that there was more.
