Student Health and Physical Activity Survey

Enterprise

The school is busy exploring the world of money and business. We have created a little society with a government, currency, bank, warehouse and lots of small businesses. We, including the teachers, are all trying to gather as many gongs (Our currency) as we can! Everyone is busy making products or services to sell on Market Day on the 13th September. Here are some photos of our society in process.

Creative statistics

We are learning about statistics and watched this amazing video of a very creative way of displaying statistics. We also viewed images of other creative and powerful displays of statistics. We have looked at the purpose of statistics and why the way we present them can influence how they are understood and increase how much they influence people.

We are going to apply our creative minds to some statistics to see if we can display them in a powerful way. So keep your eyes out!

Pirongia Lodge Outdoor Classroom Project

In recent years room 7 has been involved in helping create an outdoor classroom up at Mt Pirongia. The next stage of the project is planting native plants around the outdoor classroom. We need to clear the area, source the plants through donations and sponsorship and then plant them.

We had a great introduction to this stage of the project up at the lodge. We also got to feed one of the Robins that was released earlier in the year (we made the boxes to transport the Robins). We also went on the new flying fox.

The first thing we need to do is write letters asking for peoples support through donating native plants or money for plants. So if you know where to source some native plants we would love to hear from you.

Collage art

We have created some awesome collage art. We had to think carefully about contrasting patterns and colour as well as effective layout. Enjoy our finished pieces!
