Paper planes


As part of a unit on statistics we got to make paper planes!!! The purpose of this was to collect appropriate data to produce a dot plot graph displaying flying distance against the variable, e.g. distance vs plane size. For this activity we also got to use decimals, such as plane 1 flew 6.4m.
In another fun statistics lesson we measured our resting pulse and after exercise pulse, put them on a stem and leaf graph and worked out the mean, median, mode and range. We also had discussion about the science behind it and how an athletes pulse would perform.














Fantastic Foxton Beach Trip

As part of our Stay Safe Unit the Senior Team looked into keeping safe around the beach, traffic, using the internet, and how to deal with bullying. These pictures show us learning heaps from the Surf Life Savers at Foxton Beach. It was an exceptional day!!!
