Metre Squared Project

We have completed our survey of the plants and animals living at the Farm Cove 'beach', Tamaki Estuary just down from Fordyce Avenue. The University of Otago is encouraging everyone to participate in the long term monitoring of their own environment.
Room 1 had a fabulous time, discovering mud crabs, sand shrimps, rock oysters, mud flat whelks, sea snails, worm trails, cockles, large horn snails, water clams and northern tuatua. It was disappointing to see litter. It was all collected, put in a black rubbish bag and bought back to school.

Room 1 Data Detectives

Room 1 completed a statistical investigation.
We formed our own questions and collected data.
We learned how to draw a bar graph to show our results using graph paper.
We then moved onto creating a bar graph to show our results using Google Sheets on devices.
This was new learning for all of us, we faced many challenges along the way, but we are proud that we helped each other and problem solved so that we were all successful.

Auckland's Water Shortage by Daniel

Daniel wrote a letter to Room 15 (Antony's class) to tell them about Auckland's Water Shortage and how to save water. 
He delivered the letter in an envelope over the Room 15 and read it to them. 
Room 15 told Daniel that they will go home and tell parents/caregivers that they need to start saving water. Go Dan!

Here is his letter.

Dear Mrs Cammell and Room 15,

Last week it was raining hard and it got a bit out of hand. The water overflowed and it got really muddy.

The water people have told us to use less water. We need to save water, here are things we can do to save water.
1. no baths
2. be quick in the shower
3. use the little flush on the toilet

Thank you for listening to me.

Daniel
