Week 3 Times tables

My Times tables So Far

This is an example of our blog posts to share our times tables progress.

Today I am doing my 2x tables using Timestable.co.nz

These are my results for each activity.

I used Timestables.co.nz to help learn my 2x tables.  

So far so good.

Yay! I received a diploma for knowing my 2x tables. 

I don't think I need to do any more 2x table learning because I got all of these right.  Next time I will do my 5x tables.

Welcoming Paihia School

Te Ngahere Class from Paihia School

This term we have a new Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu  partner.  Te Ngahere from Paihia School are now our new blogging buddies.  We will view each others blogs and see what they have been up to.  Today we spent some time researching about Paihia and seeing where in New Zealand their school is.  

We were then ready to make our first comments and introduce ourselves.  

Here is our map showing where our Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu partners live:

Over the Hill

What's Coming Over the Hill?

Being able to be outside and train for our weekly winter sport has helped with our skills in the competition.  We took a bit of time out to enjoy the new hill we have.

Fish Awards

Term Two Fish Awards

Each term we collect Fish tickets by showing our Fish! Philosophy school values.  We count them up throughout the term and the person with the most from each home base class, gets to go out for lunch with our principal, Mr Wilkinson.  This term our count was extremely close.

Our term 2 winner is Elijescha.  Congratulations and thank you for all of your hard work Elijescha!!
