Investigation-Room 8's Volleyball Skills

Today we used a google spreadsheet to find the mean or average and draw graphs for our volleyball skills.

We then used our online tools to find our bar graph and pie graph. These are the graphs for my skills of volley, digging, serve, spike and block. We also used it to calculate the numbers to find the average. Overall I think the online tools were very easy to use.

Dragonfly Artwork

Today room 8 worked on Dragonfly Artwork. For what reason? Well we made these because it is linked to a healthy stream. Scientists have believed that if dragonflies are around a stream then it means that the stream is clean and healthy. However, if they are not hanging around the stream then this means that it is not very healthy and clean. As you know we haven’t found any dragonflies around Omaru Creek. It means that our creek is not healthy and it is dirty. With all of the communities help we can achieve a healthy creek and we can make it home for the dragonflies.

Get NZ Writing - Package Opened

This morning we all gathered around in a circle excitingly waiting to open the package

that we received from greymain school in the south island. As we opened it I saw a burst of colors bringing joyfulness to my eyes. My favourite writing piece on the massive paper was the part where they said what words they like the sound of. My favourite word that I can definitely relate to was “Home Time”. I really enjoyed room 14’s postcards and their all about me poster. I hope that they enjoy ours to!

Statistical Investigation

Google map Screenshot

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest to the address was Jolie. It would take her 7 minutes to get to the destination and the millimeter will be 550mm.Harrison lives in East Tamaki so it would also take him 7 minutes aswell to get to 124 Apirana Ave and the millimeter would also be 550mm. Next we will be calculating the mean and the median.
