SRS Census Proposals

Room 5 - Found that the majority of the sandpits toys were broken or unsafe....they want new toys to make our sandpit SUPER!



Room 9 - is showing us where the SRS Maze would go....they presented the data that told the story of our students wanting something different from playgrounds.



Room 17 had a very persuasive presentation of how a SRS MAZE would be great for both environmental and social outcomes.....plus fun for us all!




INTENSE MATHS LEARNING

3 DAYS OF INTENSIVE STATISTICAL LITERACY LEARNING.........

We are learning how numbers tell stories.....
We can interrogate data to make meaning.....
We can use data to persuade others.......

We took a Stanhope Road Census and used this data to make proposals.
Our proposals needed to Communicate and Explain what  would make our school, community and lives better, then Justify it with our data & findings.

We had to present to a panel.....
Marie Math Facilitators from Cognition Education, Gay Swift from Ellerslie Rotary, Anna Gaukrodger from BNZ Bank Manager, Me, Mr Grant from our Board of Trustees, Heather Math Facilitators from Cognition Education.


See more blogs for the proposals....
