My Kennings Poem.

Walt: distinguish between relevant and irrelevant ideas for my Kennings poem

I was able to think of idea's relating to me and think of things that represent me such as, A clumsy food eater and a Tom Gates book reader.

Next time I will try think of more awesome but relevant words to describe me.

Statistics

Walt : display data on histogram, tally chart

Walt : interpret information from histograms and tally marks eg. medium, mode, range, mean

I was able to put the name score information into a histogram and I used tally marks. This task took a bit of thinking but it was easy when I understood it in the end.

• The range for the first name scores was 4 - 20
• The range for the last name scores was 2 - 21
• The range for the full name scores was 9 - 31
• The mean for the first names was 10.34
• The mean for the last names was 10.79
• The mean for the full names was 21.13
• The medium for the first names was 11.5
• The medium for the last names was 9.5
• The medium for the last names was 21
• The mode for the first names was 14
• The mode for the last names was 11
• The mode for the full names was 22

Mean:

An other word for mean is average how you add it up is simple you

Get a set of numbers and then you add them up, Then you count how much numbers there are

and divide the total by how much numbers there are.

Medium:

This is only if your set of numbers are even: You get a set of numbers and put them in order to largest to smallest and you find the 2 in the middle and you add them up and divide it by 2. If its not even: you get a set of numbers and put them in order from biggest to smallest and then you just find the number in the middle and that's the total.

Mode:

I found the mode the easiest because you get a set of numbers for example 5,5,5,5,5,77,88,99 you see which ones the most popular in this case it was 5 so the mode is 5.

I found finding the, mean, medium and mode a little bit tricky because I was a bit confused about the medium and mean because I kept mixing them up but now I understand it better and I find it really easy now.

Spelling- 45 Letter Sounds

Walt : use different spelling patterns and strategies to increase my word knowledge.

There are 45 letters sounds in the English language.  Sometimes these sounds are made by one letter and sometimes they are a made by a group of letters together.  Learning these letter sounds will help me spell unknown tricky words and increase my word knowledge.

I was able to learn how to spell a lot of words that I didn't know how to spell before.

House Captain Speech

 

Today I stood my speech in front of my whole house group Matai. I demonstrated Resilience by giving it a go and not giving up even though there was heaps of people watching me and it made me a bit nervous. I didn't prepare a speech but I decided to do it anyways.

10 Things You Need To Know About Me

Walt : use advanced punctuation

We have learning how to use bullet points correctly in my 10 Things About Me slideshow.  I learnt you need to :

• Place the bullet point in the margin.
• Use a capital letter after the bullet point.
• If you have written a sentence, end it with a punctuation eg. fullstop.
• Bullet points are used to create lists.
• Find the bullet points icon on the right hand side at top of the tool bar called bullet lists.\
• You can only find the bullet points with you click on a text box.

Next time I will try and use bullet points in more of writing.

Can you guess which of my information is true and which is a lie ?
