MoveImprove, We love it

Here are a few shots of us at moveImprove. We do a warm up and then we move around five activities in our teams.
When we get back to class we pair share and tell our friends the best bit and the bit that was a little tricky.
This week there wasn't as many tricky things as we had remembered how to do the activities from last week.
We also wrote about what we enjoyed in our guided writing books, please come and read our stories.

Swimming Yippee

Swimming in the Pool

We went swimming in the pool after morning tea.

The boys got changed in Room 8 and the girls got changed in Room 9.

We lined up behind Olivia to go to the pool. We walked in a line to the pool.

We got in the pool. It was really cold! Ben was worried he might turn into an ice block.

We played “Ringa, Ringa Rosie.” We blew bubbles and then we got out.

We are so lucky that the pool was fixed after the earthquake.

Valentines, Sharing the Love

In art we are learning about collage. We  made this card for our parents it lent it self to this unit of work.
I hope that you enjoyed receiving them as much as the children enjoyed making them.

Busy, busy children.

Statistics... I wonder?

This is a people graph, we wanted to see how many children wore a head band. We discovered their were only 2. Which means 18 people did not wear headbands to school on the 5th of February.

This graph shows the number of girls and the number of boys in Room 8.

Tara, wondered how many letters were in our names, so we created a bar graph. We had a great discussion about what the graph showed us. We discovered that 3 people had only 3 letters in their name. Constance and Alexandra have 9 letters in their names, which is the most in the class. The most common number of letters in our names is 6.

We made a tally, it showed us the different coloured eyes that are in our class. We discovered that it is a bit tricky to read a tally and it was much easier to graph the information and then talk about it.

Tara drew a quick graph about hair colour which you can also see in the picture. Perhaps you can talk about the results at home.

What colour hair do  most people have?

What colour hair do the least amount of people have?

Are their any colours that have the same number of people in it?
