Super Fun Statistics

Kia Ora Bloggers! My name is Quinn and today I will be sharing my maths with you. This week we have been focusing on Statistics. We have learning aout making graphs. You need to have your data to make a graph. What is data? It's information that you collected about a topic. For example your favourite fruit. Ask some people their favourite fruit with around five or more options and collect everyones answer in tallys. We did a few different topics but I am going to show the one with all of Tumu's birthday months. Because this would take a while to collect the data we did it all at once together. Once we had our data, we went and made a graph on a Google Sheet. We had to make two different styles of graphs and make two statements about each of them. Here are the two graphs that I made.

Have you ever made a graph?

Magical Margaret Mahy

On Thursday the 20th of May Tumu Hub went to the Margaret Mahy Playground. First I looked at the traditional Maori mats. They were really interesting because lots of work was put into them with bricks. Each mat has a different story and meaning behind it. Then we went down to the river to feed the tuna. We fed them in smaller groups so it wasn’t crowded. We had to wait until the waka wasn’t there and then we could feed them. When it came to my turn I grabbed a spoon and reached down to feed the tuna. There was only one Tuna down at the river and it was swimming really low so it couldn’t see the food on top of the water. 

After we had finished, we went on the Waka. We grabbed a paddle and practised the commands and we sang E Minaka Ana. After doing a lap of the river we did a race. We were ahead but they turned around early so they won but really we would have. After the waka we went down to Victoria Square. There we looked at the pou and maori designs all around and we had a snack. We did a quick drawing of the pou so we could remember what it looked like and we went to the next rotation. 

The next rotation was looking at Margaret Mahy Playground and it’s story. We looked at the carvings in the path and everything they mean. Then we got paper and a crayon and we traced over carvings in the path by holding the crayon on it’s side and rubbing over it. After that we gathered as a group and had a talk about the day and how we could thank the parents for their help. We also thanked the teachers for organizing this trip. To say a big thank you to the parents and teachers we sang E Minaka Ana and Mila spoke on behalf of the hub. Then we went back to school after a wonderful day at Magret Mahy Playground.

My favourite part of the trip was going on the waka because I liked paddling and it was fun being able to go on a waka because I haven’t ever been on one before. I liked singing E Minaka Ana and saying HE HA as we paddled.

Something I learnt was that some of the playground is actually shaped as a certain thing like the climbing frame is one of the boats that the first settlers came in and the hill with the slide coming down is the port hills.  

The thing I found the most interesting was that the playground is shaped to look like things from the past like big ships and port hills. I think it is interesting because people wouldn’t always think that is what it really is and when kids play they already have boats and hills to play on.

This trip has helped me with my PBL because I found out more about the playground and what it means and also heaps more about maori patterns and how things were made. I also found things out about tuna and mats around christchurch. The trip was really interesting and the things I found out were really cool. I loved this trip.

What did you find the most interesting about what I have learned on this trip?

Brilliant Bully Free

Kia Ora Bloggers! This week is bullying free week! We learn't about what bullying is and what is it not.

Top Secret Re Investigation

Kia Ora Bloggers,

For Re we were learning way to keep our trust and faith in God. To show the ideas we have come up with we made a vine and wrote down all of our ideas in a creative way on the vine. Most people made a grape vine and so did I. The teachers thought that I made a really good vine so they showed the whole hub. After lot's of people were saying that it was really good which I liked. My vine took a lot of thinking because I made a lot of grapes on it but I got it done in the end. Here is the vine that I made for this weeks Re task. 

What are some ways you can keep faith in Jesus?

Graphic Novel War

Kia Ora Bloggers,

Today I am going to show you my graphic novel about war. Me and some of my friends created this for a task we had to do and I am going to show it to you. I am very proud of the graphic novel we have created because I think it is very creative and I love making animations and using google slides. The things we found quite hard were who was going to do what but in the end we got it all figured out and we got the slide finished. At the end we decided to make a summary so the reader knows exactly what it is about. My favourite bit about making this slide show was that I got to work with my friends and we got to create something together. If I didn't have help from my friends then I wouldn't be able to create anything like this. Every piece of work I do I ask my friends if there is something I could change or even just help for decoration. Here is the slide me and my friends made about war.

Have you ever created a slideshow about war?
