The Highway Man

For reading we read a famous poem called Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. Back in the day a Highwayman was basically a burglar. We read this poem because if we were to learn this in college we would have full understanding about the poem. After reading the poem with the class and discussing what each verse meant Ofa, Sankyaw and I created a google drawing summarising the poem to make it easier for other people. We had fun learning about this poem and have learnt that back in the day the police were the kings soldiers.

Define Problem Solving - 25 word summary

Today at Kiwi Can our theme was resilience and our topic was problem solving. At kiwi can we discussed some situations that we use problem solving. One of our examples was if we were in a sports team and the problem was not working together and communicating on the field. To solve the problem one of our ideas was to talk and discuss the play to be more prepared and get through the opponents defence line to score a try. Ofa and I worked collaboratively to create a 25 word summary explaining what problem solving means.

Problem solving is when you work together with someone or in a team to share ideas and find the best solution to a difficult problem.   

Maori Battalion

For the past 2 days we have been learning about the Maori Battalion. We read a text that I found very interesting and brave. In the text the Maori fought alongside the Britain but didn't treat each other the same. Even though they were forced to work together they still got along and encouraged each other by doing a powerful haka on a mountain. We created a summary and asked your partner questions to write feedback and to see if we understood or listening to the story. I found this story fascinating and learned a lot about the Maori Battalion. Did you know that they had pigeons to send messages?.
