MANA

Knowing classroom expectations and supporting peers with them

We will achieve this by:

Knowing the class Tiriti on the wall
Quietly helping others (so we don't embarrass them)
Remembering what we do at WES
Being respectful to others
Listening for what the teacher expects us to do
Learning about our MANA values

Success Indicator:

When you help someone, you will feel proud of yourself and they will feel proud of you
We can continue to improve and develop our reputation in a positive way
The class will run nice and smoothly and we will learn a lot and have fun doing it
We will get rewards both as individuals and as a class

Get out your MANA book, a pen or a pencil, a ruler (you may have to borrow one) and be ready to go!

Learn:

We will get our brains going each morning with warm ups.
We will practice maths and literacy a little bit each day until we remember it!

Daily Starts and Karakia Term 3 2022

We are learning to:

Identify the key points in non-fiction articles
Summarise the key points in our own words in the correct order
Locate and summarise ideas by skimming or scanning, by identifying key words, topic sentences and key questions, or by using subheadings
Identify parts of a newspaper article (like headline, byline)

Create:

Pick the correct day and go into the slide deck
Choose your article - what type? It is is in the name of the link :-)
Write up your key points and summarise
Who is your audience? Remember, they have not read this article and need to know all the key points about what happened.
If you need a reminder as to how to make a link for your headline, watch the video to the left.

1. Read through someone else's Kiwi Kids News (NOT the same article), and the article they read.

Ship's Captain

by Fraser Smith

"Ship's Captain" is the story of two boys learning how to live off the land and sea. Nan is a larger-than-life character, steeped in knowledge of bush lore and rongoā (Māori medicine). Pop is a gentle background force, who teaches the boys how to build a whare raupō. The lessons the writer learns go beyond bush lore; the story explores the value of knowledge that is passed down through generations, the pleasures of living simply, and the importance of being "the captain of your own ship".

Keep the book in your tote tray until you have finished.
Each time you read that book fill in this form recording what you have read:

Independent Work - in any order this week

TIMES TABLE ONLINE - complete all the activities (before you practice using the games) for the 3 times table. Get your certificate for ALL of the times tables.
PROTOTEC - Start at level 3. Try to get at least 90% correct, keep on trying!
MATHS BUDDY - MUST FINISH ALL the lessons. If it says continue to next lesson - you continue. There is MORE THAN ONE lesson!
WORKSHEETS - will be given to you by Whaene Vicki when you come up to her. These are to be done STRAIGHT AWAY if you get one.

Watch the video. Click on this link here. In your maths books, do each worksheet (there are four). One per day before you do any more independent maths work (ie, no Prototec or timestables online etc until you have done this). Learning our timestables and division is sometimes boring. But the more you practice, the better you get, and then we can get onto more interesting maths!!! So go hard!!!

Jakeh
Jakob
Zane
Catiele

Watch the video on short division. Can you see anything that she does that might be confusing? With the dot? Hmmmm.

Then complete this worksheet in your maths books. This is just practice of the method. Complete them all. We will then work on word problems with it.
