Kiwi Culture & My Culture

Social Studies keep us busy like little bee's. This term we have been learning about Kiwi Cutlure and looking into Kaupapa which have meaning to the individuals within the classroom. Last week 9R researched about Ihumatao and developed three focus questions to answer.
1.  What role does government play in this issues?
2. Why does Maori not want to give the land to government?
3. Why are protesters aiming to stop the build?
At the end of the research students presented their findings to the rest of the class. 

I have attached a waiata being sung by Stan Walker taken from YouTube.

More great work on probability this week. Finding probabilities when flipping 2 coins, rolling 2 dice, different spinners. Using a sample space (grid) to help and  to list all the possible outcomes. Also tree diagrams, used to find the different combinations.
We should do well on our end of topic assessment.
