Place Value

Place Valve is a system that groups number based on their size.

The position of a digit determiners its valve. When we say numbers we group them within the same house. For example 15709 has fifteen thousand, seven hundred and nine ones.    

 

Understanding our base 10 place valve system allows us to pronounce big number properly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting.

 Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming introduction and openings.

It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua the Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects

to the place. The maunga (mountain), Awa (river) and Iwi (tribe) are generally used.

Introducing Ingoa (name), oku tipuna (ancestral place) and where live is important for audience to understand the position of the speaker.

Manuhiri is the term to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

AFL Skills

I learnt some new skills with Coach Mike. 

First, Coach Mike taught us a skill and it was called, Hand ball. Hand ball is using my dominant hand for a fist and my non-dominant hand for a dinner plate.

Lastly, we played two games called Octopus and hit  the teacher. Octopus is getting to one side, to the other without getting tagged with the rugby ball. Bomb the teacher is kicking the ball and trying to aim at the teacher's and coach.

 

I enjoyed learning the skills.
