Flounder hunting

This morning around 8.30, 12 students from Pt England school went down to Wai o Taiki bay to fish for baby flounders. Around 9am the entire school walked down to Wai o Taiki bay to sing some waiatas and say a pray. The waiata that we sang was " Whakataka te hau" This song is about sea life and things about land and sea.

The reason why we are catching baby flounders instead of bigger ones is cause, we are going to put the baby flownders into our school tank and look after it properly, we are going to feed it and take good care of it so when they grow bigger we can give it back to the awa.

So today we catched 20 baby flounders and kauri flat school catched 4 baby flounders, Here are some pictures of baby flounders and big flounders.  Did you know that flounders can be found in different types for example, there can be baby flounders, big flounders and even cooked flounders.

 Here is a photo of a baby flounder.
  These are the big flounders.
  This is the cooked flounder that you can enjoy for dinner or breakfast.

Ukura - All in the family

WALT: Create graphs to communicate ideas

Answers below:

Answer Below:

1. The line graph is the graph that isn’t suitable of finding the statement of data.

     B. The pie graph shows less information.

3.

1. This is true. How I know is because all the three graphs show that the number two is the highest number.

    B. The bar graph is the best for answering these questions because it is easier and a fast way to figure it out.

4. What me and my classmate discuss was that Evan is not correct I think because Lani’s data is the correct data cause she said that half of her students in her class have 2 or more siblings.  

      Activity two:

 1. This is my grid for the families of the other students.  

2. Lani says “”

i) True

ii) False

iii) False

iv) True

v) False

vi) True

Activity three:

1. My classes sibling data:

Family numbers:

1. 2  parents + 3 kids

2. 2 parents + 3 kids

3. 2 parents + 5 kids

4. 2 parents + 6 kids

5. 2 parents + 6 kids

6. 2 parents + 9 kids

7. 2 parents + 8 kids

8. 2 parents + 11 kids

9. 2 parents + 7 kids

10. 2 parents + 6 kids

11. 2 parents + 4 kids

12. 2 parents + 6 kids

13. 2 parents + 3 kids

2. What I have learnt from the Families and siblings is that I now know how to use a bit of graphs and grids. The grids are know easy for me to use, before I didn’t know how to use the grids until now.

3. The main differences about my graph and hers is that my graph has the amount of parents, amount of brothers, and amount of sisters that my classroom mates have in their families and Lani’s graph was different to mine because she had numbers of the family’s and she didn’t list hers as how many parents they had and different things to mine.

This week we have been learning all about the different graphs. What this task asked me to do was that it asked me to follow instructions and answer all the questions correctly. I hope that you have learnt something but what I have learnt was that I learnt how to use graphs in many different ways.
