The Jelly Bean Mystery!!!

For the first 3 weeks of this term, we have been studying Statistics in maths. This has involved grouping objects and stating how they are grouped, comparing the groups, identifying the group with the most, the least and the same.

This week as an end to our Statistic unit, we used Jellybeans!!

We had to group the jelly beans in the same colours, put them into a graph, identify which group was the biggest and which group was the smallest.

At the end....we got to EAT THE JELLY BEANS!!

Here are the children from Harakeke and Kaponga swimming in Week 4. All children have shown awesome progress throughout these few weeks.

During reading and maths time, we sometimes get to make things with our classroom equipment.

Week 4 in Harakeke

Mrs Smith asked us to tell her what we liked about Welcome Bay School. We have a movie showing us telling her about what we like.

Mrs Smith also asked us to show her who our friends are. We have another movie showing us telling her about our friends.

Harakeke's Presentation to Assembly

In the first week of school, we read a story called "The Wonky Donkey". The children reviewed the story orally and then they went on to illustrate it.

Here is some of the presentation from assembly.

Here are our pictures
