Statistical Investigations

In maths at the moment we are learning about statistical investigations. This will help us in PrEP as we start doing our market research. Today we looked at different ways to display data and discussed what types of graphs we use for different information. As a fun activity we decided to make a people graph based on what colour t-shirt we were wearing today. It is like 3D picture graph. Here is what it looked like!We found out that blue and black were the most popular colours of t-shirt to wear to school today!

The 'K' Sound

Today we read the poem, "Wastebasket Brother" and looked at the 'K' sound.

See if you can find the 'K' sounds in this poem:


Wastebasket Brother
Someone put their baby brother
Under this basket-
The question is exactly why,
But I'm not going to ask it.
But someone, I ain't sayin' who,
Has got a guilty face,
Ashamed for lettin' such a lovely brother
Go to waste.

The letters that make the 'K' sound are k, ch, ke, ck and c. How many 'K' words can you think of?

Duffy Roadshow

On 11 April we were very lucky and had the Duffy Roadshow come to L.S.S!!!!!!! It was about someone that wanted to close all public library's down!!!!!! But Duffy and Tiake stopped him. He thought everyone wanted to play golf more so we had a debate, luckily we have been learning how to persuade others. We won!!!!!! We learned about BRR (and no it's not just a sound you make when you are cold) At the library we Borrow, Read and Return - this allows all children to be able to read cool books and go on awesome adventures. Have a look at some of the photos we took.

Pentathlon 2011


Pentathlon 2011
I jumped out of the mini van at Massey University Athletic Track. I was a little nervous and excited all at the same time. I looked around and I saw some other schools there. The first event was 60m sprint "On your marks, get set! BANG" I was off running as fast as I could over the finish line. Yay! I had won. The next events were shot put and discus. I had to throw each 3 times. The competition was tough. I threw my hardest and I won both those events as well! I couldn't believe it. We then moved to Long Jump. I was thinking, "Oh No! I hate this one!" I ran along the strip and skipped into the sand. I came last in that event. The last event was the 400m. I was getting really nervous as I watched the races before me. Then it was my turn. I lined up with the other girls, my heart was racing. The gun went, "BANG!" I ran as fast as I could. I came around the final bend, down the straight. I could see the finish line. "Come on Sarah!" I said to myself. I dug it in and crossed the line. I couldn't believe I had won! Overall 10 year old girl winner, I felt very proud of myself!
