Inati

                        Inati

Room 4 is learning how to be like the people who are showing Inati

The jobs that are needed are the men for the fishing, the ladies
who count
the food and the people who give the food out. The skills for
the fishing job
is to make sure that you know how big the fish so you know
which fishing rod
you have to get so that the rod does not break when you
go fishing.

The skill that you needed to be able to count the food is to make sure
that there is enough fish for all the families in the village and that you
give
them the right amount of fish so that they can eat. The skills that are
needed
for the people who give out the fish to make sure that you give the
family the
right amount of food because they might not eat the whole thing
themselves
and the big family might have a small amount and will not survive.       

Room 4 can be like the Inati people if they are keen about giving
other people
your ideas, smiles, Pukana, and friendship to show you’re not
going to sign out
and that you want to make people feel wanted and to show
that you care about
them.

Now you know how Inati works in New Zealand and
Tokelau.

Plant Trays 1

Seiola’s Maths learning Story

The Problem:  

Planting Trays 1 We are preparing to grow some seeds to plant on the bank down to the basketball court. We have 27 trays that will grow 6 seedlings each.   How many plants can we grow? What different ways can you show how you solved this?

How we solved the problem:

First I Then I Next I……

Working as a group is important:  Choose 2 to write about

I am good at….  because…. I am getting better at ….. because ….. It’s hard for me …… because …... I need to work on because….

I am going to tell you about the most challenging Kapa Haka because when I started I didn't know how to do the pukana so I just stood there like I was a stick. When I turned 8 I was getting better at doing my pukana because when I was at my aunt's house my cousin was teaching me how to do a pukana and she also taught me how to do the wiri and that is why I am so good at them.when I am doing my pukana people just laugh at me so then instead of a pukana I have a sad face.the only way I can conquer my sad face is to just look straight to the front and still have my pukana. My other most challenging event was pedal ready because we always had to ride really slowly on the top court and because people tried to make me slow down by trying to distract me while I was riding my bike. Sometimes I find it annoying because one time I fell off my bike because someone said that my laces were untied then I looked down and it wasn’t untied.Then I looked up and hit another bike by accident. So the only way I can stop crashing into other bike’s is to ignore those people how are trying to distract me. My last most challenging event is poly club because I am kind of shy when I go up on the stage in front of everyone like my family and friends.sometimes when I go on stage I either vomit or cry.the only way I can conquer my fear is to close my eyes when I am up on stage.

Unveiling

Seiola’s Maths learning Story

The Problem:  

Unveiling Marino and Julie are in Rarotonga celebrating her Mum’s unveiling.  235 people were invited to the celebration but then 68 people didn’t show up.  How many people came to the unveiling? What different ways can you solve this problem?

How we solved the problem:

First I did 235-68 then I split the 68 into 34 and 34 because I wanted to make an even number then I did 235-34=201 then I did 201-34=167 Then I found out that there were only 167 people that came to the unveiling.

Working as a group is important:  Choose 2 to write about

I am good at keeping people on track because I would always say, “Here. I will tell you my idea and you write it down.” It’s hard for me to understand what other people are saying when they try to tell me their ideas because sometimes I just get confused

Learning Though Play

Last week, when we were doing play, I saw Darius, Te-Ana, and Tinatali playing Twilight. I thought that they wouldn't let me play. Then I heard Te-Ana run up to me and say, “You can play” and while we were playing all I could hear was Te-Ana laughing at Darius trying to catch her because she called him slow.

Then I got very hot so I went uuyt5to play with the playdoh under the shade. When I got there Fou said that he was going to make a pizza but I said ‘‘What are you going to make it with? We’re not doing P

cooking.’’ Then he said ‘‘No, I’m making it with playdoh.’’ When I heard his idea, I thought that I could do the same thing but bigger and cheesier than other pizzas.

After that, I went to the Electronics room and I saw Eddie making a driver move with batteries so I made the same but it just made a light turn on. I didn't want to make that thing turn on because people would ask if I can tell them how to make a light bulb turn on and off so I ran out of the door quickly.
