Nina-It was really fun showing my class my Vietnamese hat and money.

Polar Lands – Handling Data
I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains.
MNU 1-20a
I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b
Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a
We have been gathering information, recording it in tables then making bar graphs, Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. We have also been reading from pictographs and making our own.
We also used a spreadsheet on the computer to input information then make a bar graph.
Luke-It was really fun making my diagram.
Macy-It was really fun making my own diagram and helping my classmates with theirs.
Polar Lands – Inukshuk
Ruby-I enjoyed collecting stones to create my Inukshuk.
Andrew-I enjoyed building it on the ground and having to make it go up.
Polar Lands Memory Mind Mapping
We worked in groups to try to create an exact copy of a poster about the polar lands.
We had to fill in the information on our poster.
Luke-I liked doing my mind mapping because of all the stuff you have to remember.
Healthy Eating
We have been learning about the Eatwell Plate. This has shown us the different categories of food we need to eat in order to have a healthy balanced diet. We also looked at how much of each food we should eat. We made our own eatwell plate.
Ava-I enjoyed coloring in and drawing the eatwell plate.
Programming
We have been learning that algorithms are a set of instructions we use to program a computer.
We programmed a beebot to make it go in different directions and we programmed Unit the robot on the computer. We had to think of the algorithm to make it burst balloons in a particular order. We could debug our program as we went along.
Archie- I really enjoyed moving the person around because it helped with my computer skills.
Isabella- I enjoyed the programming side of things a lot.
Tiling Patterns
LI: To learn what shapes will tile
We found out that only shapes with straight edges and corners will tile.
We made different tiling patterns on the computer and by colouring patterns.
Scots Verse
Well done to the class for working hard to learn Donald Where’s Yer Troosers and to make up actions for the song. They all worked really well together and performed enthusiastically for their parents and visitors.
Peter and the Wolf
In music we listened to the story of Peter and the Wolf. There were different instruments for each of the characters in the story. We had to identify each of the characters, by holding up a story card, when we heard their instrument. We could work out what was happening in the story by how fast, slow, loud or quiet the music was. It was quite exciting, especially when the hunters chased the wolf.
