The Rainmakers - Story Pyramids

Our shared book last week was called The Rainmakers by Ben Brown.  We really enjoyed the story about a Pukeko who wants to make her swamp more beautiful by stealing a rainbow.  The Keas are the guardians of the rainbows and when they find one missing they go on a mission to find it.  

We did a story pyramid to summarise the story.  A story pyramid has 8 lines with one word on the first line, two on the second line...all the way to eight on the last line.

We hope you enjoy them!

Our cool maths bar graph

We have learning about bar graphs and pictographs.  We started with a question, What is your favourite car in room 16? Then we collect information using a tally graph.  We used kidpix to make a bar graph to show the information. 

We learnt that Toyota is the most popular of them all, the second was limo and third was GTR.  RX7 was tied with Holden for last.
