Maori proverbs

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.

Evolution vertebrates

In room six we have been learning to classify animals. scientists 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 things.

Classifying Animals

You can classify animals into two main groups. vertebrates or invertebrates 

ALL vertebrates have..

*Covering skin that protects them. 

* skeleton inside their body.

*Muscles that help them move.

*Blood moves through tubes.

* Lungs and 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 helps support their weight.

* Some have a hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection.
