Fraction Fun

Yummy Maths! 

In Te Pihi we have been learning about fractions; half and quarter.

We cut some muesli bar squares.



Quarters mean 4 pieces.

Our group of four people got 1 piece each to eat.



Here is one whole watermelon.

Cut it in half. 1/2
Mmmm not enough to share yet.

Quarters? 1/4
Still only 4 pieces.

Eighths? Still not fair to share.

Sixteenths? Yes! Now there's enough for 1 piece each!


We love Summer!

It's so sweet!

And slurpy...


  
...And drippy!

The Big Feelings Tractor Trek


The Big Feelings Tractor Trek visited our school. A whole lot of tractors were parked up on our school field. They were travelling the North Island talking to students in schools about coping with sad feelings and who to talk to about these sad feelings. We got to look at them close up and sit on them. It was so much fun!!!

Te Tiriti o Te Pihi

 Te Pihi have been learning about The Treaty of Waitangi! 

We read the Tree Hut Treaty and discussed problem solving, making agreements and promises. 

Then we agreed on some promises for our class for this year, so that we can all work, learn and play happily.


Each person in our class signed our treaty, even the teachers.

When we signed we agreed to the treaty.

A treaty is a list of promises.

We are all happy with our treaty which is called Te Tiriti o Te Pihi
or Te Pihi's Treaty.
