Interpreting graphs

WALT - a. Use everyday language to talk about chance classify events as certain, possible, or impossible. b. Make predictions based on data and identify possible outcomes of an event
 This week my group has been learning about graphs

The making of room 3's movie

WALT: Write about our experience of movie making.

What I enjoyed about this was that in the end of it all we got cookies.

What I found challenging about making the movie was trying to find the right shots for the camera and some other stuff.

I think I could have done better in saying my lines and being more confident.

I think we could make a remake on an old movie.

Radio Flyer

WALT - Engage our readers by using precise language in our writing

 "I was travelling in the 'Radio-Flyer and I was chatting to my granddad about aliens. Without warning the swing set, not far from where we were sitting, disintegrated into thin air, we were in space. Suddenly three huge scary UFOs appeared out of nowhere. The aliens looked like they wanted to take us to their leader or something. We dashed away like lightning trying to evade them as they chased us through space. In the distance there was a huge ship, it looked like the mother of all UFO ships. The ship fired up its massive laser guns and aimed at us, we thought for sure we were going to die. But it was just my imagination and it was just my dad coming up the the driveway.

 This week we have been learning to use precise language to engage our readers.

Learning to use screen castify

This week we have been learning to use 'screencastify' our what was to Explore the use of 'Screencastify' to explain how I/we problem solve. Can you see how I worked this problem out? Give me feedback if you think there's something else I could have added in my speech or screen capture.

Speech reflection

WALT - Reflect on our given speech Recently I have done a speech in front of the whole class. This week we have been doing speeches, our whole literacy class did a speech each.

Lake of the dead

 This week we have been reading novels. Mr wiseman chose our books for us we got lake of the dead in this book we had to find out what did it symbolise, whit inspire you. So we had to write about the different stuff we found in our book.

Speech writing

We are learning to create and write our own speech that will capture the audience attention.
During this session we learnt that, you have at least 7 seconds to get your audiences attention,and at least  30 seconds to whether they will listen or not, we also had to start with a powerful statement, personal story or a thought provoking question . Our speech was based on graffiti, tell us... Is Graffiti art or Vandalism??

Now that's thinking Diary

Today my inquiry group Have measured our measurements and know we🤣 have to cut out and make a Draft model of our emoji pencil Holder. Our draft is made out of cardboard and our real pencil holders are made out of a type of cardboard. Our designs are going really well Angelo and Noah is making Pokemon.

Mean,Median,mode,range

Statistics                                                           name: Hosea

WALT- Identify the mean, median and mode within a collection of data

Activity One

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the mean in a statistical investigation is commonly referred to as the average. It is the total of all the data divided by the amount of data shown.

For example: if we have this range of data 3,5,7,1,2,3,6,8

3+5+7+1+2+3+6+5  = 32  = 4

             8                      8

1. Find the mean in this set of numbers:

3,7,8,4,2,6,5,4,3,9 = 51÷10 = 5 r 1

2. Find the mean in the set of numbers

4,12,5,6,11,9,5 = 52 ÷ 7 = 7 r 3

3. Find the mean in this tally chart

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	II

4. Find the mean in this set of numbers

24,12,16,18  70 ÷ 4 = 17 r 2

5. Find the mean in this set of numbers

5,9,12,4,10,7  47 ÷ 6 = 7.r5

6. CHALLENGE QUESTION: Find the mean within this data, use the frequency table to help you

1,5,5,2,1,2,5,5,5,5,1,2,1,5,5 50 ÷ 15 = 3 r 5

Score	Frequency
1	4
2	3
5	8
Total	15

Activity Two

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the median is the middle number within a set of numbers that have been put in order from size (biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest)

For example: 2,6,4,1,9 = 1,2,4,6,9 and the middle number is 4.

BUT say if there is more than one middle number… the median is found by taking the number midway between the middle pair of numbers:

3,6,1,4,9,2 = 1,2,3,4,6,9 → 3 + 4 = 3.5

                                             2

Find the median in these sets of numbers

1. 10,14,17,12,19,11,16
2. 10,11,12,14,16,17,19 = 14

3. 34,42,37,31,40 = 37
4. 31,34,37,40,42

5. 101, 167,138,124,198,149  = 143.5
6. 101,

7. 54, 58,52,57,53,60 =55.5
8. 52,53,54,57,58,60

9. 1001, 1094, 1023, 1065, 1038, 1027, 1042 =1038
10. 1001,1023,1027,1038,1042,1065,1094

11. Find the median within this tally chart

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	IIIII III
Hamsters	II

10,12,4,8,2 =9

2,4,8,10,12

Activity Three

The mode is the most frequent number in a set of data. The number that occurs most often.

For example: In a set of numbers 3, 7, 8, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9 there is two modes, 3 and 4 because they appear twice in the data set.

Note- There can either be 0, 1 or 2 modes. If there are 3 or more numbers occur the same number of times, there is no mode.

Find the mode in these sets of numbers

1. 2, 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 3 ,9 = 3 , 5
2. 1, 5, 3, 2, 9 ,4, 1, 6, 8, 0  = 1
3. 23, 45, 78, 12, 45, 67, 32, 46, 93, 12 = 12
4. 101, 121, 123, 145, 167, 121, 139, 145, 176= 121
5. 394, 273, 219, 294, 183, 291, 273, 288, 271 = 273

range

1. 32, 34, 37, 40,41 =9
2. 92, 94, 96, 98,100 = 8
3. 69, 72, 74, 76,79,80 =11
4. 52,54,55,57,58 = 6
5. 111,112,115,120,125 =14

Why our intervals should be longer?

Todays title is going to be why our intervals should be longer… Why should it be longer? Because most of our time is spent learning but we could just do homework at home. Isn't that what wifi is for? Why can’t our intervals be longer, is it because they want us to learn more?.

Reason one. it may affect our learning, but how can we solve this problem?. Our morning tea should start earlier than it normally starts and our lunch should also be earlier. students love to talk to each other in class, most teachers get annoyed and tell them of give three strikes or even Re-Think.

Another reason kids should have longer intervals is because they might want to play outside longer or they might want to play Basketball longer. Some people have been asking why our intervals are short and why can’t they make it longer.

My last reason why students and kids should have longer intervals is because when students ask teachers to go to the toilet they go toilet but when they see their friends they play around and muck around in the toilets. Then end up getting in trouble.

I hope every body agrees with me and I hope that we get longer intervals

IKAN test

Today I did the IKAN test. It felt easier on our netbooks then watching it on the big screen. My results for my Ikan test was 28 out of 40. I did much better than I did last year.

I think I could've Improve more if I learnt more.

Recount plan Year 8 camp

I hope next time we go I will bring more protection for paintball.

Statistical investigation

W1 Intro to statistics

Google padlet

this week we learnt to Discuss and justify my responses to a range of texts this here is a padlet of our ideas that me and my group came up with. we also have to find evidence in the text that was given to us

Independent & dependent clauses

This presentation is about the two different clauses Independent & Dependent. A clause is a group of words that contain a subject and a predicate.

Tech@Tamaki/Cooking PIES!!!

This week we made our pies with the filling we made last week. Here is some footage that was taken Here.

Place value Houses

Writing explanation Unedited and edited

Unedited

A special place that I like is pt england school. Pt ngland school is a special place because you get to learn stuff that you did not know about, You also get to meet new friends and teachers. This is a special place because it has all the knowledge you need in the future ahead of you.

I think Pt england school is one of my favourite places especially when you get to eat your lunch and play outside. The best subjects I like are writing, reading, maths and P.E. A sport that I love to play is basketball, i like to play basketball with my friends at morning tea and lunchtime this is one of my favourite sports because it is fun and cool to play.

When I finished the onions I made a amazing Creation.

annual polyleshes festival

Yesterday team 5 went to the polyfest in manukau. The reason we went there was because we wanted to learn about different cultures. Polyfest is a three day annual polynesian festival or polyfest.

If I could choose the best think it would be the stalls that were every where. Like the counties manukau police. It was fun because there were  a lot that you know or did not know about police and what they do.

My second highlight was the stage’s like the Diversity stage, maori stage and the samoan stage. But my most favourite stage was the maori stage.

Polyfest is important to people especially to those who are not confident on stage because it helps be courageous on stage and help them perform with kia kaha. Another reason is it helps your social relation with other people and helps make friends

So next time you hear about polyfest come along and don't forget about the food.
