Statistics

This week in room 9 we have been learning about statistics. We had to think of a real life problem that could be solved by a statistical investigation. Then we had to plan and carry out our own investigation in order to collect useful data. We are presenting our finding on posters.

Hayao Miyazaki

Lately we have been learning about the famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki. In art class we did a timeline of his life in art. We also have learnt about the word Manga and have been drawing pics of Manga drawings. Kids love to draw images from his movies. Some of the movies he made are  Ponyo, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbour Totoro and  Spirited Away.

W8 Update

Statistics:

Since the start of the term at school, we have started a new branch of mathematics: Statistics. Statistics is the study of graphs and we have been learning how to use them. Our goal is to find out what stories graphs tell. The children of Room 9 have been revising stem and leaf charts, bar graphs and pie charts. 100% of the children in Room 9 we interviewed have really enjoyed Statistics and are keen to find out more.

Novel studies: 

Due to the fact that a new term has begun, we have started new subjects such as Novel Studies. The books being read in Room 9 are A Monster Calls, Boom, The Recruit and Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, there were multiple other books that children read but the four books that we mentioned were the ones read in Room 9. Most children say that they have enjoyed novel studies so far.
