Purpose:To make a container that is the right size to protect Kate's taonga.

We were good at asking each other questions like "What size do you want it to be?"

We were also good at working as a team because we shared our ideas like "Lets make a roof and lets put some material so when it drops  then it won't crack"

Another thing we were good at was noticing others like Jilliane and Isabel working as a team and trying out different ways to fit Kate'.s taonga.

We needed to work on making a plan so we know what to do when we make it

Maths

In maths we did this problem about  x's and we had to figure out a Marie problem we had to look for how  match more x's we need to solve the problem so we read the problem and I said this is a interesting  problem then we had to figure it out first we did 3 times 10 and that made 30 then that was the first answer then we did 4 times 10 + 2 why do you think we did that?We did that because there were 5 for the first x's and the second one was 9 so we said if 5 +4=9 then lets say we can take away one from the 5 and times the 4 by ten and + 1  to make _ so then we did it and it made 41 so that is how we got the second problem.
Then for the last one we said okay there were 6 for the first and 10 for the second but 16 for the 3 x's so we said if we take away 2 from the 16 then times it so we did 4 times 10+2 because we took away 2 to make 14.Then we said 42 is the answer.

My taonga

Do you have a taonga?

This is a story about my taonga, what it is, what It does and what I do to protect, nurture and sustain my taonga.

My necklace was from New Zealand. It was in this shop filled of gold. It was in the area with the best stuff. I got it from my grandpa when we went to Auckland together. We had a great time.

My taonga looks like gold,and it has a cross on It.It has a chain that goes over your neck and it has a little bit of a person on it as well.

I got it when me and my papa went to Auckland. We went shopping when we got my taonga for me. We found it in the first shop we went to and when I saw it I asked my papa, ”Papa can I have that pleasew” and he said “Why?” and I said “Because this can be my taonga from you and I will keep it forever” and he said “Okay” and I said ”Thanks. Thanks. Thanks papa ”

I protect, nurture, and sustain my taonga by putting it in a box which is safe so no little  hands can  touch my taonga. If my taonga got smashed from someone I will be really mad at who did it to my taonga.

My taonga is special to me because I got it from someone that passed on into the sky. I want it to last forever because he gave it to me to remember him when he passes on up to the sky.

I got my taonga when I was 6 years old and I've had it for 2 years  I've kept it safe for a long time If I ever break it then I will get really sad and maybe cry because it was very special to me.

I was so happy to have that necklace I hope you get a necklaces like me and I hope its from someone special to you.
