The rock warriors, retold by Siale

Before Maori explored the beautiful lakes of Rotorua, other people lived there. These people were known as Patupaiarehe. They lived on the top of Ngongotaha Mountain. One day the trees was moving but Rotorua people said it can’t be the wind so 10 or 20 men went to look at why were the trees moving. It was the rock warriors coming to take over the Patupaiarehe people homes. So the Patupaiarehe people went to their leader Tongakohu who was so angry she went to the top of Ngongotaha mountain  and said a magic spell Te tuahu-a-te-atua. Then she lit a small fire and began to repeat an ancient magic spell she had learned when very young on the rock warriors. When the rock warriors was getting tired  the leader of rock warriors said keep going but the rock warriors said can we stop for a little but? The longer they stood still the wearer they became. Soon they couldn't move their feet, their skin was getting stiff and cracking. Patupaiarehe were very happy when their chief was able to stop the war party and they lived on Ngongotaha mountain for many years afterwards. The rock warriors can stil be seen on the top of Ngongotaha mountain today.

LI: I am learning to solve division problems using how many time one number will go into another.

49 divided by 7	=7	72  divided by 6	=12
63  divided by 9	=7	48 divided by 4	=12
96 divided by 8	=12	88 divided by 8	=11
25 divided by 5	=5	144 divided by 12	=12
64 divided by 8	=8	120 divided by 10	=12

1  120/10 = 12
2  64/8=8
3  96/8=12
4 144/12=12

This Week in ALIM we learnt to add by splitting numbers into.

Parts instead of counting on eg.

8+6 is the same as

8+6=8+2=10+4+14

Diary

What a damp rainy morning,it was as wet as a waterfall. I found it very boring because I was looking forward to a nice sunny day.  Anyway I went for a shower.  As I looked through the kitchen window the tiny droplets of rain sparkled on the green grass.  Fortunately for me, my mum served me with a healthy  yummy breakfast before I came to school.I  enjoyed the crispy bacon.

Dinosaurs

Life on planet Earth began about 3,000 million years ago with tiny,

single-celled creatures. And a huge span of time was to pass before dinosaurs eventually

evolved about 220 million years ago.
