This week I learnt about the 9 stars of Matariki.
The matariki stars names are Tupuārangi, Waipuna-ā-Rangi, Waitī, Tupuānuku, Ururangi, Waitā, Pōhutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi. I chose to work on Waiti star. Waiti is about fresh water and the creatures that live in it. Wai means water in Maori.
I enjoyed talk about the water
I did well at what star
This week we were learning about multilication. We worked out that how to use repeated addition. We had to use lego pieces to figure out how many groups of each number we had.
I enjoyed placing the blocks. I need to improve on knowing my times tables faster. I did well at adding.
I h88ave learnt through studying the Victoria Cross that you had to be an exceptionally brave man to win the award. The Victoria Cross for Australia is the pre-eminent award for acts of bravery in wartime and Australia’s highest military honour. It is awarded to persons who, in the presence of the enemy, display the most conspicuous gallantry; a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice; or extreme devotion to duty. The Victoria Cross shall be awarded for the most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy. I leaaarnt that the original British Victoria Cross introduced in 1856 by Queen Victoria to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War. The Victoria Cross for New Zealand has been awarded once, on 2 July 2007, to Lance Corporal Willie Apiata for actions in 2004.
