Visualisation - Highway Rat


Visualization is creating pictures in your

head. This helps us understand what we read.

Highway Rat is about a Rat who is greedy and

Steals everyone's food. He learns a lesson and everyone lives happily.

My visualization is different from others because it would be interesting for people.

We have different Visualisation because it is very bad to not copy other's drawings or writings.












Place Value & Saying Numbers

Place value is a system that groups numbers based on their size.

The position of a digit determines its value. When we say numbers we group them within the same base. For example 15709 has fifteen thousands, seven hundreds, & nine ones.

Understanding our base 10 place value system allows us to pronounce big numbers correctly. It also allows us to identify numbers before and after.

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting. 

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for a welcoming, introductions, and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects of the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used. 

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tipuna (ancestral place), and where you live is important for the audience to understand the positions of the Speaker. 

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

Being respectful of the land, the people, and the purpose of a visit will ensure long-lasting relationships and connections.
