Survey and Report

Walt: write a report on my survey

Recently I decided to carry out a survey. Targeting the children and staff of Glen Innes School. My question was “Who is their favourite R & B singer?”. I personally went around asking room 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 that question. Fifty children were surveyed.



I used excel to draw my 3 D graph. My data was represented in a pie graph.

Based on the results most children and staff voted for Chris Brown. Ne- Yo had the least votes with 0.

I believe that most children and staff chose Chris Brown because he has energetic songs. Maybe Ne-Yo was voted the least favourite because he isn’t as popular as Chris Brown.

Technology

Walt: write a narrative.

Technology

Every Monday morning the year seven students go to Tamaki College on a bus, to do hard materials. We have to always bring a pencil.

We create wooden toys by using housing joints. It takes a lot of concentration and listening. Our Walt for this week was to construct a housing joint. Mr Grundy discussed very important safety rules that must be observed at the workshop. Measuring the wood blocks was the most difficult part because we had to get it absolutely perfect.
I found that it took deep thinking as well as designing to keep up with the task. It was challenging and fun. The tools, like bench vice and try square were new. I haven’t worked with tools before.

Hardware materials are fun but it requires concentration, listening, thinking and designing. I am enjoying it.

Healthy choices

Dear Chris Wood

Dear Chris Wood

On behalf of Glen Innes School and myself, I would like to say a huge thank you for giving us fresh vegetables and fillings to make healthy, easy sandwiches, we all had a wonderful time.

My favourite fillings were a bit of everything ham, tuna, cucumber, carrot, cheese and lettuce. Mr Hendricks had put apple in the tuna to make it sweet. I remembered also having fun making the sandwiches, Plus it doesn't cost too much of money to make our very own sandwiches. I realised that there is protein in tuna and whole grain bread, also vegetables has antioxidants. I've been inspired to keep making my very own healthy sandwiches.

Thank you again.

Yours sincerely
Britney

What does Equality mean?

I learnt of the values in Equality. Equality to me is to be equal with everyone. We made a poem on Olympic Values and Olympism. I believe that  all Olympism Values should be shown everywhere and anywhere not just at the Olympics.

Learning towards success

Dear parents

I appreciate the money you have put towards the netbook.

In maths it is helping me order fractions and converting fractions into percentages and decimals. I am doing so much better.

In writing I am learning new vocabulary words and spelling is way much easier. I can write longer stories and better stories.

Also in reading I am improving my comprehension and I am happy. I’m not perfect but I’m working on it.

Thank you again for this amazing privilege.

Your child
Britney
