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 fantastic maths graph

We are learning about statistics.  We are showing the information on a graph.First we wrote the question on a peice of paper.  Then collected the information and we made the tally graph.  After that everybody stood up and took their peice of paper and and shared what they found.  Then we used kidpix to make a bar graph to show what our favourite wild animal is in Room 16.  All our animals in our question were wild animals.  The animals are a Cheetah, Possum, Elephant and Giraffe.  The most popular animal was cheetah, the least popular was the giraffe.
