Maths

This term our strand focus is Statistics. We have been looking at different ways of gathering and presenting information from statistical investigations. 

Here are some of our results...

We made a whole class picture graph to represent our birthdays then made some statements about the results. Following that we carried out our own individual investigations and presented the findings on a bar graph or a pie graph (using the 'Create a Graph' program). They look spectacular!

Class Treaty 2017

We have been looking at the Treaty of Waitangi, along with our school values and learning behaviours, and we collaborated on a class treaty based on the areas of respect and responsibility. Here is the result...

Respect for Ourselves

I WILL... Manage my impulses                              Use self control Use my common sense                           Stand up for myself Take care of my belongings                    Manage my time Be a positive thinker                              Keep my work tidy Try my best always                                 Learn from my mistakes Try again if it doesn’t work the first time

Respect for Others

I WILL… Let others go first                             Minimise distractions Compliment others                           Stand up for others Use my manners                               Use appropriate language Be kind, caring and helpful    Be encouraging Include others                                  Make new people feel welcome Take care of other people’s belongings

Responsibility for our Actions

I WILL… Admit my mistakes and try to fix them        Be honest Think before I act or speak                          Apologise when needed Do what I say I’m going to do                       Try to stay on task Help keep the school clean and tidy       Do the right thing

Welcome to 2017!!!

Here we are...Room 6

We're off to a great start so far this year. It's Week 3 already and Room 6 has been buzzing with learning. We have been discussing our school values (honest, caring and responsible learners) and the learning behaviours that will help us grow (being curious, creative, collaborative, reflective, risk-takers). Today we brainstormed ideas for how we might demonstrate each of these and came up with some fantastic results. 

Check them out...

We chose a learning behaviour to start at, collaborated to record ideas, and moved around to a new page every few minutes to add to the ideas of others...

And here are our ideas...

How awesome!!!

I can already tell we will be developing and improving our learning skills 

throughout the year.
