Solving Word Problems Collaboratively
In Maths we have been solving word problems working collaboratively (in a group with our classmates). We have been learning to understand the word problem first and figure out what the question/problem is asking us to do and then work it out using a strategy that most of us want to use in our group and talk about why we used this strategy.
These are the videos we have watched to help us understand how we can solve word problems and the strategies we can use to solve word problems. Hope you find these videos as helpful and informational as we found them.
Look at how we have gone about solving word problems since last week.
If you would like to view more of these then please visit our individual blogs. Thank you.

Creating Mood and Atmosphere in Writing
We are learning to notice or recognise how authors create mood and atmposhere. We will be exploring a variety of texts in the next few weeks and look at how authors use language to create mood and atmposhere in their writing.
Our goal is to be able to create mood and atmposhere in our own writing.
Here is a warm up writing task we have been doing this week. If you have any questions then please let us know in the comments section. Thank you.

Maker-Y with Nane from Kootuitui Ki Papakura
We are really fortunate to have Nane from Kootuitui Ki Papakura come to our class every Tuesday and work with us on coding and robotics. Today we learnt that when we are creating it is important to remember that there is no right or wrong and the idea is to keep trying and if we make a mistake then we just debug and keep working on creating something until we get there.
