Whakatauki




In Maori we have been learning about a Whakatauki
A Whakatauki is a proverb, what is truly valued in the Maori Culture.
The Whakatauki

 that we have been learning about is if we all shared then no one would go without. We would be able to provide for all that come to us.
There are also Proverbs in the Bible that encourage us to share.
Read these proverbs : Proverbs 19:17; 22:9; 31:20.
Jesus also showed us the teachings of God when he feed the multitudes of people with the fish and the loaves. Read more about this in the Gospel of John: 6 or the Gospel of Matthew: 14.

Vertabrates


In Room 6 we have been learning to classify animals and plants.scientist classify animals and plants into groups in order to easily identify sort, and name them.

Classify =Sort
There are many different ways to group living organisms.
You can classify animals into two main groups,vertebrate or invertebrate.

All vertebrates have. . .

Covering of skin that protects them
Skeleton inside their body
Muscles that help them move
Blood that moves through tubes 
lungs or gills for breathing.

Invertebrates

90% of all animal on earth are invertebrates
They tend to be small because they don't have a backbone.
Many live in the ocean because water supports their weight.
Some have a hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection
-Insects, spiders, crabs, snails, clams
