This week's goal: The Great Decimal Line-Up!
This week's goal: The Great Decimal Line-Up!
We are learning how to plus and minus numbers with decimal tails (like $1.25 or $4.50).
To do this, we’re going to use the Stacking Strategy (or the vertical adding and subtracting strategy):
The Golden Rule: You must line up the little dots (the decimals) right on top of each other, just like buttons on a shirt!
The Stack: Once the dots are lined up, we stack the numbers in tall towers.
The Solve: We add or subtract just like we normally do, starting from the right side and moving to the left.
Pro Tip: If your dots aren't in a straight line, your answer will be "out of line" too!

Rimu - The Tree of Time
An Amorangi and Millie Adventure
Step into the shadows of the ancient canopy in Rimu: The Tree of Time. This isn't just a story about nature; it’s a journey through centuries of forgotten history, seen through the eyes of a silent sentinel who remembers everything we’ve chosen to forget.
If you've ever wondered what the earth would say if it finally found its voice, you need to hear this tale.

New Zealand at War-SJ L3 June 2014.pdfWe’re checking out the text "New Zealand at War" to get a real look at what happened during one of the biggest parts of our history. It’s not just about old dates and facts; it’s about the actual people and stories that helped make New Zealand what it is today.
Our Learning Goal: We are working on our local comprehension skills.
What does that actually mean? Instead of just looking at the "big picture," we are zooming in! Our goal is to:
Pick out specific details and facts from the sentences.
Figure out exactly what certain words or phrases mean in the story.
Show that we can find the right information exactly where it’s hidden in the text.
Basically, we’re becoming "text detectives" to make sure we understand the small details before we look at the whole story!

Our Learning Mission:
Today, we are going to reach back into our brains to find a skill we already know, then write it down so we can teach anyone, anywhere, how to do something totally awesome!
How to Smash This Goal:
How to Smash This Goal:
We’ll know we’ve unlocked our Instruction Master powers when we can:
Use Our Brain Power (Recall): Think back and remember every single tiny step of something you’ve done before—like making a sandwich or tying a shoe. Don't skip a beat!
Pick a Cool Title: Give your mission a name that pops!
List the Secret Ingredients: Make sure your reader has all the "tools of the trade" ready to go.
Use "Bossy" Action Words: Use powerful words like smash, zap, spin, or glue to lead the way.
Number the Map: Put your steps in a 1, 2, 3 order so nobody gets lost.
The Brain-Blast Challenge: Close your eyes and "rewind the tape" in your head. Can you remember the very first thing you have to do to get started?
Procedural Writing
Procedural Writing
As part of our writing and learning this term, we will learn how to write procedures, such as recipes and step by step instructions.
Procedural Writing for ANZAC Biscuits (1).pdfIn this activity, you will explore the history and structure of the Anzac recipe. You will read a set of instructions and answer questions to understand how to write your own clear, step-by-step procedures.

The OREO Reminder
The OREO Reminder
Before you start, don't forget to pack your OREO! It’s the best way to build a strong argument:
O - Opinion: Tell us what you think!
R - Reasons: Why do you think that?
E - Examples: Give us some proof or a cool story.
O - Opinion: Tell us one more time so we don't forget!
The Total Pro Success Criteria:

You’ll know you’ve nailed using the OREO method if you have convinced a grumpy teacher why or why shouldn't we commemorate Anzac Day.

Make a copy of this ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt (don't forget to put your initials before naming the Google Slide).
Save the ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt in your Inquiry folder in your drive.
We will go over the ANZAC Day Scavenger Hunt together as a class before you get started on the work.
Matariki-Visual-Language-Activity.pdfOur journey connects ANZAC Day with Matariki/Puanga through the power of remembrance. The star Pōhutukawa acts as our bridge: just as we say "Lest We Forget" for our soldiers, we use Maumaharatanga to honor those who have passed.
Together, we will explore what each star symbolises for our future.
Making a Miniture Watercycle
Making a Miniture Watercycle
Ever looked up at a rainstorm and wondered how all that water actually got up there? While the short answer is "the clouds," the real story involves a continuous journey between the earth and the sky known as the water cycle.
In this activity, you’ll get a front-row seat to this process. By creating a miniature model inside a plastic bag, you will investigate the specific forces that move water in and out of our atmosphere.
Key Concepts You'll Explore:
Key Concepts You'll Explore:
Evaporation: How water transforms into vapor.
Condensation: How clouds (and droplets) form.
Precipitation: How water eventually returns to the surface.
Are you ready to see the water cycle in action?
