Ngā mihi o Matariki! Happy Matariki! Following on from our Matariki/ Māori New Year celebration last Friday, we are going to be exploring the stars and the important role they played in navigation for Pasifika and Māori voyagers.
Navigation is our final mini focus for this term! We are going to be exploring a range of technologies used for navigation, and creating our own DLOs to share our learning.

Focus:
We are now into our second mini focus for the term. We are now inquiring into transport and travel. In particular, we are finding out about technology used by Māori to travel around Aotearoa and beyond. During this inquiry, we will look at the resources used to create these methods of transport, and also changes to navigation over time.
Follow up Task
1. Get into pairs, and then find another team member from Maungarei.
2. Read the text together.
1. Fill a bucket up with water.
2. Choose a number of waterproof objects from around the classroom.
3. Do they float?

Week 4
Walt: make links between texts
Walt: understand contractions
Focus:
This week we are beginning our second mini focus for the term. We have just finished three weeks inquiring into resources which were used by Māori before European settlers arrived, and before transport between different countries became easier.
We are now going to begin inquiring into transport and travel. In particular, we are going to find out about technology used by Māori to travel around Aotearoa and beyond.

Welcome back! This term we are looking at technology. Team 4 are going to be looking into the history of technologies which were created and used by tangata whenua in Aotearoa hundreds of years ago.
In room 10, our first mini focus is going to be on resources, tools, and techniques which were used in order to provide food and shelter. We will then look at what resources, tools, and techniques we use today and how these compare.
