Statistical Investigations

Have you ever wondered which reptile is favoured most in Room 8? Or which colour we like the best? Well, wonder no more. Come to Room 8 and have a look at our Statistical Investigations.

We learned to:

• collect data using a tally chart
• plot data on a graph
• draw a graph including axis, title, data
• interpret the data on a graph
• approach people and ask questions

 Yesterday, Room 8 were very interested in the fire on the Port Hills. We felt that something important was happening in our city and we needed to talk about it and do some writing. We decided to write a quick news report ...

The Hills of Fire by Room 8

The Port Hills are on fire. Firefighters are at the scene struggling to fight the magnificent, unstoppable forest fire. Black smoke rose above the city. You could smell the burnt hills in the air. Tragically, Firefighter Steve died when his helicopter crashed trying to fight the fire. Tune in at midday for the latest on the fire. 

We have written a class treaty based on our Ilam values - kind, safe, positive & respectful. We traced around our hands and drew patterns and pictures. We attached them to the treaty to show that we agree with it.
