Puanga - Matariki 2023
Puanga - Matariki 2023
During the holidays, for the first time in New Zealand history, we have a public holiday celebrating the start of te tau hou - Māori! The Māori New Year. We celebrate the New Year when Puanga or Matariki is seen (depending on where you live). however, the NZ government has had to choose a day that tags onto a weekend so everyone gets a long weekend holiday.
This year it falls during the school holidays (bummer!) so this week we are looking at Matariki, Puanga and the stars involved in the celebration of the year gone by, and the year coming up. Copy these slidedecks below into your INQUIRY folder, watch the video and answer the questions.
Learning to Type
Learning to Type
Using our chromebooks, we need to practice our typing. Whaene Vicki can type WITHOUT looking! This is called touch typing. You have to practice a lot to get to that stage, but you can get better and USE MORE THAN ONE FINGER if you practice just a little bit!
Remember to have your headphones on, or your sound turned off.
The more you practice the faster you will become. KEEP TRYING. It gets easier.

Persuasive Writing
We are learning to write persuasively. This week we are looking at what we need to include in each paragraph:
Paragraph 1 - The Introduction
Our topic is introduced - what is our topic about?
What side of the argument we are on
Paragraph 2 - Reason 1
Our first reason why we are for or against our topic. State the reason straight out. But then...
Back up your reason with evidence that supports your reason. If you don't like green bananas because they affect your mouth, WHY is that a bad thing? "Green bananas affect your mouth. They stick to the roof of your mouth and make your teeth feel furry which feels gross! Have you ever felt like you needed to brush your teeth after eating something? It is not great and I don't recommend it. THAT'S what eating green bananas is like."
Paragraph 3 - Reason 2
Our first reason why we are for or against our topic. State the reason straight out. But then...
Back up your reason with evidence that supports your reason.
Paragraph 4 - Reason 3
Our first reason why we are for or against our topic. State the reason straight out. But then...
Back up your reason with evidence that supports your reason.
Paragraph 5 - Conclusion
This is where we wrap our story up.
Restate what side of the argument you are on
Mention the three reasons briefly to remind your readers why they should listen to you and agree with you.
