Muddy Fields Poetry

MUDDY FIELDS

Playing in the morning

As it feels a little boring

Running around the field

Muddy places all around

With my foot stuck in the ground

Having pins and needles

I see a black poodle

Get a bowl

I want some noodles.

Not Nice Stories - Podcast

For the past few weeks, we have been learning how to do podcasting. We each had to pick a book, and explain to us what the book is about. We then had to pick partners to work with, so that they could interview us. Lately My partner samoa has been reading about a book called, Not Nice Stories by John Parker. This book talks about a boy who is smart, he wants to get smarter, so he decides to eat sheep brains. Overall I found this book really interesting to read, and we suggest that you read it for yourself.

This is my first time making a podcast. It was a really good experience to understand, more about what this book is talking about. we really hope you try this out, because it was really fun to read about this book.

Rugby for Rosie - Podcast

For the past few weeks me and my buddy having been working on how to do podcasting. We each had to pick a book, and explain to us what the book was about. We then had to pick a partner to work with, so they could interview us for this podcast. I've been reading about a book called "Rugby for Rosie" , this book was written by a New Zealand author named Frances Adlam and illustrated by jenny cooper. This book was about a girl named rosie that wanted to play rugby for school but the only available team was the boys team , and in order for her to qualify she needed to bring along three other girls. But none of the other girls wanted to play, then the coach said she could trial an during the trial she scored a lot more try's then the boys did.  Then after all of this she was happy to say to everyone that she made the team

Laziness

Another day in the life of laziness, I myself had to wake up early in the morning to get ready for school.

As you can see on the top of this paragraph is photos of the morning sunrise and tired animals, and
they pretty much shows was I looked like when I woke up this morning. The first photo is revealing you
how comfy I was lying down nice and warm in bed, the second photo shows the sun rising behind the
big old trees. The third photo manifests how hard it was for me to open my eyes and how lazy I was to
get up, and lastly the last photo presents me getting up out of my warm comfy bed to get ready for
school.

M.M.M - Mean, Median, Mode

Statistics                                                   name: Myztique and Anna

WALT- Identify the mean, median and mode within a collection of data

Activity One

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the mean in a statistical investigation is commonly referred to as the average.
It is the total of all the data divided by the amount of data shown.

For example: if we have this range of data 3,5,7,1,2,3,6,8

3+5+7+1+2+3+6+5  = 32  = 4

             8         8

1. Find the mean in this set of numbers

3+7+8 +4+2+6+5+4+3+9 = 51 ➗ 10 = 5 r 1

                                               

           Find the mean in the set of numbers

4+12+5+6+11+9+5 = 52  ➗ 7 =  7 r 3

2. Find the mean in this tally chart

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	II

  10 + 12 + 4 + 2 = 28 ➗ 4 =  7

3. Find the mean in this set of numbers

24+12+16+18 = 70 ➗ 4 = 17 r 2

4. Find the mean in this set of numbers

5+9+12+4+10+7= 47 ➗ 6 = 7 r 5

5. CHALLENGE QUESTION: Find the mean within this data, use the frequency table to help you

1+5+5+2+1+2+5+5+5+5+1+2+1+5+5 = 50 ➗ 15 = 3 r 5

Score	Frequency
1	4
2	3
5	8
Total	15

Activity Two

Answer the questions in a different colour

The definition of the median is the middle number within a set of numbers that have been put in order
from size (biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest)

For example: 2,6,4,1,9 = 1,2,4,6,9 and the middle number is 4.

BUT say if there is more than one middle number…
the median is found by taking the number midway between the middle pair of numbers:

3,6,1,4,9,2 = 1,2,3,4,6,9 → 3 + 4 = 3.5

                                             2

Find the median in these sets of numbers

1. 10,14,17,12,19,11,16

10,11,12,14,16,17,19 - the middle number is 14

2. 34,42,37,31,40  

31, 34,37,40,42 - the middle number is 37

3. 101, 167,138,124,198,149

101, 124, 138,149, 167, 198 - the middle number is 143.5

4. 54, 58,52,57,53,60

53,53,54,57,58,60 - the middle number is 55.5

5. 1001, 1094, 1023, 1065, 1038, 1027, 1042

1001, 1023, 1027, 1038, 1042, 1065, 1094 - the middle number is 1038

6. Find the median within this tally chart

Pets owned by students	Number of students
Dogs	IIIII IIIII
Cats	IIIII II
Fish	IIII
Rabbits	IIIII III
Hamsters	II

2 ,4, 7, 8 , 10 = 7

Activity Three

The mode is the most frequent number in a set of data. The number that occurs most often.

For example: In a set of numbers 3, 7, 8, 4, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 9 there is two modes, 3 and 4 because they appear twice in the data set.

Note- There can either be 0, 1 or 2 modes. If there are 3 or more numbers occur the same
number of times, there is no mode.

Find the mode in these sets of numbers

1. 2, 1, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 3 ,9 = 3 and 5
2. 1, 5, 3, 2, 9 ,4, 1, 6, 8, 0 = 1
3. 23, 45, 78, 12, 45, 67, 32, 46, 93, 12 = 12 and 45
4. 101, 121, 123, 145, 167, 121, 139, 145, 176 = 121 and 145
5. 394, 273, 219, 294, 183, 291, 273, 288, 271 = 273
