Statistics

When we look at this graph, it shows comparisons betweens Rooms 7, 8 and 10. I can see that only room 8 has students who could wall squat for over 20 minutes. I can see that all three classes have 1 student who can only wall squat for less than one minute.

This graph has comparisons between boys and girls of Nepia house. I can see that all of the girls stopped before 13 minutes. We can see that boys could wall squat for the least amount of time.

Camp Update

Room 7 and room 10 had an amazing camp experience. We all loved trying new experiences and getting to know each other. If you look at our individual student blogs you will see evidence of this!
We all enjoyed different parts of camp, but Miss Garland's favourite was definitely the waterslide....despite the uncomfortable after effects!

Position and Orientation

Today we began to explore different elevations.
We began by creating our own designs and drawing them from the different views. This was difficult and required us to move our designs around so we could check our ideas.
As an extra challenge, Miss Garland drew a plan, which we then had to create with the blocks. This required us to keep checking and testing.

Heavy Animals

Room 7 have been exploring Rich Tasks and using a range of Problem Solving Strategies. Today we had to work out which was the best way to arrange the animals in the Vet shelves, so they didn't exceed the weight limits. Have a look at our blogs to see our strategies and reflections. Some people made diagrams, lots of people used a table and I showed how I used a spreadsheet could be helpful to keep the information organised.

Nepia Swimming Sports

Last week, Nepia house competed in our Swimming Sports. From this, we determined the students who will be swimming in our School Competition on Wednesday evening. In the photos, you can see us all competing in the whole house race across the pool.

ASB Get Wise

This morning, we began to explore some Financial Literacy. At the end of February, we will have a visit from ASB bank. Today we did some research about salaries and the differences between average incomes. We also used a calculator from the IRD to work out what our Tax could be, if we earned that average salary. Check out the bottom Padlet to see what our dream jobs are. Some of the salaries are pretty outrageous!
