Huntah- Swimming Sports

Swimming sports 2017

Today some students and me worked hard in the swimming competition. Not every student swam, but most of us did. When I entered the swimming I heard everybody cheering as loudly. It was like s a siren piercing my ears. In all my races I came first, but I think my opponents could do better if they practiced. Swimming was quite difficult . I struggled with butterfly. Overall I am really happy with my places in swimming.

Alicia- Statistical Investigation on Volleyball skills of room 8 students

Today we used a google spreadsheet to find the mean or average and draw graphs for our volleyball skills.

We then used our online tools to find our bar graph and pie graph. These are the graphs for my skills of volley, digging, serve, spike and block. We also used it to calculate the numbers to find the average. Overall I think the online tools were very easy to use.

Harrison - Statistical Investigation

Walt:  conduct a statistical investigation.

We used google maps to determine the walking  distance to 124 Apirana Avenue. This is the entrance to the Omaru Creek that we are studying. The screenshot shows the route, distance and time from my house to the creek. Furthest away was Zain who was 4.8km away and it would take him 59 minutes to walk. Jolie however live the closest only 550m away which by walking is 7 minutes. Harrison lives in East Tamaki so I had to work out how far it would be from the train station Next, we will be calculating the mean and the median.
