ANZAC Day.





On the 25 of April 2019 I went to the ANZAC field memorial to remember those who died in the war.  
It was early dawn,  a cold breeze was whistling across my face.  I could see the
glistening sun rising up from the bottom of the sky. It made me feel warm, and just right.  
Just then I heard a noisy jet zooming across the sky which brought back memories of the war. 
This made me feel proud for supporting my country.  But also sad for those who lost their lives.
Looking across the cold damp field I can see bright red poppies swaying in the grass.  It takes me
back to the field when lots of people got killed.    As I stand here in my dusty old army uniform
it makes me feel proud about looking after my country and sad for all of my friends who died.
I’m remembering being with the other soldiers, eating crispy sweet ANZAC biscuits. 
Thinking about my family and memories of home.

Fact: By the time the campaign ended more than 130,000 men had died.
This included more than 8700 Australians and 2779 New Zealanders.  It was at Gallipoli.

Math Time

Ice Cream Party


For maths we had to pretend that we were hosting a party after lockdown.
This is my question that I asked my family.  


I am hosting a party after lockdown but I need to know how much Ice Cream to get.

What flavour Ice Cream do you like?



Ice Cream flavour
Amount
Orange  Chocolate Chip
Goody Goody Gum Drop
Mint Chocolate Chip

Chocolate chip
2
Vanilla

I can see that the most popular Ice cream flavour is Hokey Pokey at six. 
The least popular flavour is Boysenberry at one. 
Then I can also see that Goody Goody Gum drop and Mint Chocolate Chip
came in a tie with five votes.   And that Orange Chocolate Chip came in a tie with
Chocolate at only two votes. What flavour do you like?

House roof colours

Today for maths we have been learning about gathering information and making that information into bar graphs.  I walked around my neighborhood and collected data about, the most popular and the least popular house roof colours. 

What do you think is the most popular roof colour around your neighborhood?










I looked at 96 house roofs and saw that the
most popular roof colour was brown with 29
The next popular was grey with 27.
The least popular roof colour was even with
sivler and white both at only 2.
