Statistical Investigations

Room 10 has been working hard on their statistical investigations! As a class and individually we have collected data as evidence to tell a story about a question of interest. 

We looked at how to display the data in an appropriate format, make statements about implications, and draw conclusions on the basis of our statistical investigation.

Tree Hut Treaty

Room 10 Tree Hut Treaty!

To time with Waitangi day in New Zealand and the beginning of the new year we shared the story of "The Tree Hut Treaty" which developed some thinking around our own class treaty!

During the making we thought of a place that we share regularly with others. We learnt that these shared spaces have rules that directly relate to the wellbeing, safety and happiness of everyone who enters. We came up with ideas that we thought would work best in our shared space and signed our Treaty to show our commitment.
