Tumu Teams Birthday Month

Goal: Display data using a stem on leaf graph, choose an appropriate data, display using more than one variable, interpret information from graphs plan an investigation.

 Hi I am Rafa, and I am going to show you my charts on Birthdays,  and what is the most popular Birthday. We collected data of the Tumu´s Birthday Months, we collected the data by doing one team and saying one month to the people and the people would stand up if that´s their birthday. It turns out that April is the most popular month.

 We did some statements about the chart and the differences of them, like April the most popular month and July is the rarest month because only one person has that birthday. When is your birthday and what do you think is the most popular birthday?

Recount about Margaret Mahy

  On Thursday we went on a trip to Margaret Mahy Playground, Victoria Square. The Waka, Eels and the Mats to learn about its past and how the Moari lived there. When we went to the Waka first, the instructor did some commands in moari. The first command means “UP!” so we had to raise our paddles up, then the second command means “Down!” and that means paddles down, third command was putting your paddles in a 45 degree angle, and last was paddles ready and we swing and swing.

My favourite part of the trip was Victoria Square.

 We learned a lot about it like Captain James Cook, its past selves and Queen Victoria. Before it was called Victoria Square, it was called Market Square where Moari would use to trade food. Today, there are ancient artifacts like a Totem Pou and Moari Carving and statues of Queen Victoria and Captain James Cook.

Something I learnt was that people centuries ago used to go to Waka's before Margaret Mahy Playground was built and on the Waka. We would shout out “HI” “HA” over and over again.

The thing I found the most interesting was that on the playground, there are hidden messages in there about the past.

This trip has helped me with my PBL because it boosts my learning about Margaret Mahy, Victoria Square and my Turangawaewae. I learned so much about Victoria Square and Margaret Mahy. 

This is my recount about my trip to Margaret Mahy of Christchurch
