Embarking on a Dangerous Mission

As part of Statistics, Room O must test out paper planes in the hall. We will record the flight distances, and bring the planes back to make a Dot Plot/ Scatter Graph. We used all sorts of paper sizes (A2,A3,A4 and A5).   We line up and ‘3…2…1…0!’MrWard yells out.Vooosh!!!!!!!!!!! The planes soar off the stage, and we measure the flight distance. Armed with our data, we ran back to class to create the graph.

A5 Distances: 3m,2m, 4m,4m,4.8m,5.6m.

A4 Distances:3.1m,4.2m,4.9m,5m,8.2m,9.5m.

A3 Distances:5m,8m,8.1m,9m,12.2m.

A2 Distances:3.2m,5m,6m,7m,7m,6.1m.

We then got Austen to work all the averages out. When that was done, we created the graph in our Maths book.

Mission Complete!

AS THE WHISTLE BLOWS, WHITE RUN TOWARDS THE RED TEAM WITH THE BALL… RIP THEY YELL OUT! I WAS NERVOUS TO SEE IF WE WOULD WIN. AS WE SCORED I THOUGHT YAY WE COULD WIN BUT THEN HENRY SCORED… AHH! NOW WE COULD NOT WIN. I WAS TERRIFIED! THE COACH SAID FIVE MORE MINUTES. MY TEAM WAS UNDER PRESSURE. AS  THE WHISTLE BLEW WE ONLY JUST SCORED IN TIME. WE WON VICTORY FOR WHITE.

Winter Warmer Booklets

Here are some of Room O's outstanding Winter Warmer activities. 

Term 3 Enviroday

What an action-packed Enviroday! First up, with the assistance of Mr Barratt, we learnt the right way to plant a tree which we planted along the field fence line. Next, all of Room O got stuck into our large garden, with varying levels of energy – some of the students are gardening machines! After morning tea, the students demonstrated their crafty side and made some magnificent pine cone birds. For lunch, the class made tasty filled rolls with ingredients coming from home and school. These looked delicious! After lunch we learnt about the NZ Fairy Tern, watching a mini documentary and doing an activity related to this. Did you know there are only 40 of them left in the world? Before the bell we visited the nursery where Room N students did a great job sharing the new bird aviary and details about its inhabitants. Thank you to Mrs Reay and Ms Carter for your Enviroday help!
