Waka Hourua

 Waka Hourua

Today we worked in groups to learn about different waka, my group was Hirini, Harlem and Travis we had to learn about waka hourua. We all worked on a slide to learn about waka hourua we each had our own slide and on that slide was what the questions were and the answers.

Here is a link to the slide we made:

After we completed the slides we showed our teacher and they said it was good to go, so then we got a long large brown piece of paper and a border to cut out. Next time we carry on with this work we will be gluing the border on and adding the waka.

I really enjoyed doing this activity and I think I worked well and got a lot more work done I think this was because I wasn't with my friends.

I hoped you enjoyed reading my blog,thanks for reading.

Have you ever heard of the waka, waka hourua?

Wiremu Tamihana

Wiremu Tamihana

Today In panuitia I learn't about Wiremu Tamihana. Wiremu Tamihana was born in 1804 at the Tamahere near Cambridge. The name that was given to him at birth was Tarapipipi Te Waharoa. His tribe was the Ngati Haua and his was his fathers. Te Waharoa had fought in many wars against other tribes. Tarapipipi fought with him in some of the battles. Then as a young man he became a christian and was given a new name, Wiremu Tamihana.

The kingmaker

In the 1850s Wiremu Tamihana and other people were convinced that the maori people needed to have a king. They needed someone to unite the many tribes, someone to protect the land and someone to give good rules to live by. Wiremu Tamihana and several others travelled the north island trying to find a suitable person. Their choice was the Waikato cheif, Te Wherowhero

We also learn't

Histograms.

 Yesterday in math we learnt about the difference between bar graphs and histograms. Some of the differences are that a bar graph has a space between the bars and a histogram does not. We did a statistics activity first we had to do was to find out answers to 3 questions using the data on a histogram. Our next activity was to organise the data into a frequency table with class intervals 1.0- 2.0- 3.0- 4.0- 5.0- then we had to draw a histogram to display that information. This is a picture of what I did:

 have you ever done work around histograms?

I know that I learnt a graph needs
