Rounding and Compensating
This week, I have been solving maths problems using the rounding and compensating strategy. At first, I didn’t quite recognize this strategy and it took me a while to understand how to use it. I did got the hang of it and used that strategy to solve some of my math problems. Maybe I would have to use this strategy in my tests...never know.

Cook Island Language Week
This week is Cook Island Language week and 3 visitors from the Auckland Museum came to our school to sit with us for an hour. They taught us Cook Island history and culture. When we were with them, I learnt that all pacific island languages for coconut is niu. I also learnt how to use a drill from the olden days and how to put all the pieces together to make a canoe. I also learnt that the string they use is from the husk of the coconut and how the coconut tree is the tree of life.
Cook Island Language Week
This week is Cook Island Language week and 3 visitors from the Auckland Museum came to our school to sit with us for an hour. They taught us Cook Island history and culture. When we were with them, I learnt that - because in the Islands, there are different languages and for coconut, it is niu. I also learnt how to use a drill from the olden days and how to put all the pieces together to make a canoe. I also learnt that the string they use is from the husk of the coconut and how the coconut tree is the tree of life.

Everyday theatre
Everyday theatre
Today, two ladies from everyday theatre came to room 8 and performed a show. We also combined with room 7. I really did enjoy it and also all the games after that. My favourite game was when we had to get into groups and freeze. I think that everyday theatre came to our school to talk to us about some issues with the family and how some parents can be so abusive. I think that there was nothing hard about playing the game and I think that a computer game was used to switch characters. Honestly I would like to play this game again like everyday.
