Matariki - Scratch Project

Today we made a scratch project on Matariki. For our project we had to have the stars of Matariki on one stage and when we click on one of the stars, it'll take you to a page where there are 5 facts about the star. There is a video above to show some of my work. Hope you enjoy!

NZ first gold medal!

Today we were watching womens coxless pair finals. NZ was in the race. As the race started things were already starting to get intense. NZ was in second just behind Canada, then NZ was in front with Greece on their tail, but NZ won by one second and won NZ their first gold medal. The racers were Grace Prendergast and Kerri Growler. NZ came first, ROC came second, and Canada came third. In the medal ceremony all the teams were wearing their tracksuits and they all look so cool! I really like the ROC tracksuit. After we won the teacher started singing the national anthem. The whole class screamed like MAD! All that hand and leg coordination must have been really hard and tiring. I could probably only do a quarter of that race and be exhausted! I hope we can get another gold medal!

Simplifying Fractions

Today we were learning how to simplify fractions. The we found a number that could be put evenly into both the numerator and denominator.

The first question I did was 12/15. The simplified fraction was 4/5. The number that I put into the first fraction was 3. 3 into 12 is 4 and 3 into 15 is 5. 

Today we made a graph for our house points. I used the information from the image on the fale house points. 

From this graph I can see;

Rata has the most amount of points.

Kowhai has ten points less than Totara.

Totara is the green.

Kauri has the least amount of points.

It's possible for Kauri to earn more tokens than Kowhai but I think its unlikely because Kauri is 161 tokens behind. Every day each Fale earns at least 60 tokens. They might still be behind by the same amount of points in the next week.

Spreadsheets - Analysis of Completed tasks for Wednesday 30 June

Today we made another graph of how many tasks we completed on Wednesday 30 June. Here is what mine looks like.

From this graph, I can see that 24 students completed there tasks. I got 24 by adding the numbers from the bar graphs.

Red bar = 9 students

Orange bar = 5 students

Yellow bar = 2 students

Green bar = 2 students

Blue bar = 6 students

From this graph I can see that 9 students did 6 tasks, 5 students did 5 tasks, 2 students did 4 tasks, 2 students did 3 tasks, and 6 students did 2 tasks. None of the students did 1 task or no tasks. Mrs Corbett feels happy about this and I think I did a lot better this time!
