In the Beginning Art

This is a Maori god from a story called in the beginning that I drew. It is Haumia, he is the god of wild and uncultivated foods.  I enjoyed doing this art because it was fun to colour in with pastel.




My Enterprise Inquiry

My Reading Reflection

I have been learning to find and summarise information in a non-fiction text.  My reading group read a book about white-tailed spiders.  We created a slideshow about what we learnt.  I found it difficult because it was hard to make the slideshow.  My next step is to summarise the information in my own words.

My Fractions learning

This is my maths goal.


Stage 5/6
Fractions Goal
I am learning to add and subtract fractions with a common denominator.
I know that I can do this when:
I can add and subtract the numerators together
I can recognise that the denominator doesn’t change if the fractions have a common denominator 


My Maths Reflection
I have been learning to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
The denominator doesn't change because they are pieces of the same whole.
I found this easy
My next step is to add and subtract fractions with different denominators
