My Maths this term

 Kia ora whanau and today, I am going to share my maths work you and what I have been learning this term.

I have been learning about decimals. I have been putting these random decimals from smallest to biggest. For example: 7.7, 8.4, 2.6, 1.9, 5.7, 6.7,  4.9. It was hard to figure the numbers out but I give it a medium.

Next thing I have been doing is I have been putting numbers in the right place in the numbers value chart. Example: 129386. I have been learning to put big numbers in a expanded form. Example: 13928

1. H         T       O       T        H       TH               10000+3000+900+20 8 =   13928           

      1             2          9          3            8             6 

You can learn from these too. These are easy as so you will be able to get it. Hope you have a wonderful day guys. Ka kite ano

Friends

What is Taha Whanau?

Taha Whanau is who makes you feel you. Whanau is about extended relationships and people who loves you to their heart.

Why are "Good friend" Relationships so important?

Friendship has a huge impact on your health and joy. Without them, it prevents loneliness and sadness.

Why is respect so important for all ( not just friends) of our relationships?

Because being respected by people in our lives growing up teaches us how to be respectful to others. Respect means that you respect others on who they are : )

Good friends never judge you, is loyal, is kind and respectful to you, someone whose company you enjoy and is trustworthy and willing to tell you the truth, even when it's hard for you to hear.

Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, But you know they're always there.

 

Chilli

 Kia Ora whanau and today, I will give you a look of these images of the hottest chilli peppers in the world.

Carolina Reaper is the most popular and hottest chilli in the world! Almost no one can beat the chilli.

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods---literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tounge and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away
