Whakatauki

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

Vertebrates evolution

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

classify = sort
there are many ways to group living things

you can classify animals into two main groups. vertebrates and in vertebrates.

all vertebrates have have ...

  • covering of skin that protects them
  • skeleton inside their body
  • muscles inside that help them move
  • blood that moves through tubes
  • lungs or gills for breathing







Invertebrates

  • 90% of all animals are invertebrates!
  • tend to be small because they do not have a backbone
  • many live in the ocean because the water supports their weight
  • some have a hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection
