Kia ora! Welcome!
This week has seen a return to a more regular school week (apart from the holiday!). Room 6 and Room 7 have worked collaboratively in a number of settings this week and are beginning to share classrooms for reading inter-change.
This week within maths, a significant focus was placed on familiarising ourselves with the ways in which data can be recorded, analysed, and interpreted. We considered the eye colours of all members of our class and coloured in our pictures to symbolise our eyes. Room 7 then analysed the data and drew conclusions from it. We learned what the most common eye colour was (and the least common) and which eye colours were not present in Room 7. We also graphed our favourite things using self-portraits!
In writing we have been exploring methods of descriptive writing. This weeks focus was around Max and his journey with 'the wild things'. We considered the information using a 'Y' chart and began writing our best sentences about Max.
In maths next week we will continue to consider data and how we can 'represent' it, focusing on tallies and pictograms. In writing we will continue developing our descriptive writing and expand on our sentences!
Nga mihi,
Nicholas Shimasaki
