Hello and welcome back to my blog! This week for maths we have been learning about collecting data and making graphs. Our goal is to: display data using more than one variable. We had to stand up team by team and we had were asked our birthday months. After we made our graphs we wrote 2 true statments about each graph. I made a bargraph and a histograph.
Hello and welcome back to my blog! Resently we have started the school holidays. We have also started the winter learning journey. There are 20 activitys and you get to pick which one you want to do. Today I started Activity 1. You had to name 10 things that you can only do in winter.
Here is my Slideshow!
What is your favourite thing to do in winter?
On the 20th of may we went on a trip to town. First we got off the bus at Margret Mahy playground and found out where we needed to go. There was Margaret Mahy the waka on Avon, we fed the eel’s and looked at the traditional moari mats and went to Victoria square.
Victoria square
My group's first stop was Victoria square. When we got there we got to explore. I saw a pou, statues and a fountain. There were 2 statues, Queen Victoria and Captain Cook. I learned that Captain Cook was the first man from England to come to New Zealand.
Margret Mahy
The next stop was Margret Mahy playground. We went for a scavenger hunt around the playground to find moari designs and animals. I learnt that Margret Mahy’s quotes from her books are around the playground.
Mats and eel’s
The 3rd stop was by the Avon river. My group met up with the teacher and we went for a walk to the first mat by Victoria square. After we had gone to all the traditional mats we went down to feed the eels in the Avon. We feed the eel with a spoon. I accidentally dropped the food on the eel’s head. I learned that there are 13 mats around Christchurch.
Waka
The last stop, the waka we got buddy and we got told our instructions. We all grabbed an oar and learned how to move it properly. Then the girls got into one of the wakas one partner at a time. We took off while the boys were still practising. We all got a little bit wet, but we all had a great time.
