Magnificent, Marvellous Maths

Hi,

I'm Francesca from St Francis of Assisi school today in week 1 term 3 for maths our goal is choose an appropriate data, display using more than one variable, interpret information from graphs plan an investigation  with our teams which are Rāta, Mania, Korokio and Kohia. We had this questions to answer which was what is the most popular Birthday in Tumu Hub.  At the start the teachers in our hub asked each team to stand up one at a time when they heard there birthday month and there were some even numbers. 

 I first started of with information from the teachers and then they linked it on the maths site for this week it forced us to make a copy of the Google sheet and all we had to do was chose a graph and put it on the sheet of our own and we also had to put it on a google drawing and had statements about it here is the four statements I said about my graph which our As you can see that April is the most common month in Tumu, the least popular is July with only one person from the hub had a July birthday, also January and October is the same common number with Kohia and Rāta. I hope that I have made it easy for you to understand and if you want to ask a question comment down below and here is my google drawing about this and what is your Birthday month? Bye.

Magnificent Margret Mahy

This term on the 20 of may the Tumu hub went into town for our PBL. We took the bus to Margaret Mahy but  then we walked to Victoria Square with Miss Brown and we learnt that Captain James Cook was the first one to discover  New Zealand ,  then Margaret Mahy with Miss Carney and she talked about the patterns around the cherry trees and what they are called. 

The second to last activity was the mat’s and the Tuna with Miss Bryce she talked about how many babies can a Eel have and what age do they have them Then the last activity was the Waka and we learnt that the people who first came to New Zealand took the waka from their country to here. 

My favourite part of the trip was Margaret Mahy because we got to sketch the patterns. As well as the writing on the concrete looked really neat and we got to play for 10 minutes . 

Something I learnt was that after the 2010 and the 2011 earthquake  the Margaret Mahy playground used to have a pool and the cherry trees were replanted from Margaret Mahy’s Garden. 

The thing I found the most interesting was Victoria Square because we could see all the poppatterns and the status and the kai table and what it was built out of. 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because now I know where I live and why Otautahi is a special place to live in for New Zealanders and other cultures.  

Thanks for reading Bye
