Thanks so much for leaving all of these wonderful comments explaining what a Mihi is. I am now much more informed about this. We will talk about this in class and perhaps we could create our own Scottish version of a Mihi.
In Scotland our ancestors are from clans just as yours are from tribes. We belong to a clan and have a family tartan that would often be worn on special occasions. Perhaps we could use this to create our vey own Mihis which we could share with you.
Thanks again for taking the time to help us learn about your wonderful culture.

What is a Mihi?
A Mihi is an introduction showing who you are and where you come from. You’re explaining you’re Whakapapa (family history)in the moari language. Your explaining/introducing your whanau (family) in a sentance. It’s when you take pride in your family and ancestors.
There are three New Zealand languages. The first one is English then it goes the maori language. Last but not least is New Zealand sign language. There are different types of tribes such as Tuhoe, Tainui, Ngati porou and heaps more. I am in the tribe ‘Tuhoe’ because of my ancestors.
It has been fun commenting on your page. I hope you know now what a Mihi is now.
Thank you so much;)
From Kennedy.

That is a very full and detailed description of the game. It sounds like a lot of fun. It is a great way to develop confidence in working with fractions. We will be looking at fractions in the Awesome Octagons next term, I think that working with this game will help everyone with this.
Thanks for this excellent comment. 😀 😀

My favourite game is Auntie Pasto.You have to spin the wheel and depending on what you land on it decides what you do e.g there is choose one,take a quarter,take a half,take a third,share a slice and take a whole. Share a slices is you get to take a piece from another player.Also there is another landing choice but because we only get a short time, we can’t play it. All it is,if you land on take a box you get to pick up a pizza delivery box and put it on one of your full pizzas you have so if anyone lands on share a slice then they can’t take the pizza that has your pizza delivery box on it but if you land on lose a box then and you have a box you lose it but if you don’t have a box then you miss your turn but sometimes we play it that you get to spin again if you don’t have a box.Also the game is only a four player.That is only one of my favourite games but that is my N.o 1 game.:)
Hi Kim
What one of the games is your favourite? I haven’t played any of them yet, but I really like the look of the time game. It has both digital and analogue time, and as time is sometimes quite tricky, this is an excellent fun way to gain confidence in this area. What do you think?
Miss Docherty
I’ve went to the maths club a few times before.You get to be in a group with some of your class mates and you get to pick a game to play,you get different games to play.Also its on a Thursday when the maths club is here and sometimes you have to give up gym time but only some of it. I love when I get picked to go to the maths club :).
