Statistics


We have been doing some awesome statistical investigations in class this week. We had to pick a question in our group, collect data, make graphs and present our findings to the class. Here is some of out wonderful work.



 We came up with some interesting questions. For example: What is your favourite planet? Who is your favourite actor? What is your favourite shop? What is your favorite technology device?
As a whole class we looked at the types of mini-beasts around our school and community. Through that we found we needed more bees. We have made bees to display in our garden. The photos of the bees will be up on our blog tomorrow.

Swimming like dolphins!


Rowing to help our class mate

Editing our writing
Wow! What an awesome two weeks it was learning how to swim. We even wrote recounts about our lessons and edited them ourselves. We can now edit our work and identify our next steps in learning. Miss Bound was so proud of everyone for giving swimming ago and trying their best!

Dear parents and whanau,

Thank you to everyone that

What a great turn out we had! The children loved sharing their writing about the swimming lessons with you. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing with your children at home :-)
