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!

Look what we found out about from our bar graph...

We have done a bar graph of what the most popular game in room 16 is.
First we decided what kind of games we should put on on our piece of paper, then we went around the classroom and ask them what kind of games they like, and we did a tally graph.  We went on kid pix and did a bar graph.  PSP games are first, hand games are second, computer games are third, ball games and sport games are fourth.  After lunch on 13 april 2011 we typed this on the laptop to share with the whole world if they have a computer,a laptop or anything else.  N.L's group feels excited about sharing this with the world and Elm Park School.

Our Stream Walk

On Thursday 17th March Room 16 and Room 8 went for a walk along the stream at the back of our school.   Listen to some recounts about our walk:
