Animation Voiceover by Leilani

Kia ora,talofa lava,ola and greetings to you  all my name is Leilani and this is my animation for term 2 2017.We are learning about fishing  and sailing and how it  has changed over the years. When Maori people first arrived in New Zealand they used boats called waka’s. Waka’s were made out of wood and they had Maori carvings around them. Later on when the pakeha arrived they made boats that are called sailing boats and they had sails. Then a few more years later they add  lights, anchors, hotels,engines  and more! Once I saw a boat with a pool and a huge slide. This sailing boat is super cool they use it in the America's cup.The sailing boats go super fast and you have to pedal so that the boat moves.

Measurement with a twist


Last week in Room 8 we tried something different with our maths to get better at our place value after the decimal point. We got to go outside and use chalk to measure our height, hand and arm span it was so much fun! We then measured these lines with a ruler to she how long each of these lines were. By measuring with a ruler we were able to look at numbers after the decimal point and see how to use these in a practical way! Check out our photos of this fun way of learning!!
