A bit tricky by Crystal

Walt: to write a report on our survey

A few weeks ago I decided to find out “Who is your favourite teacher in Glen Innes School?” I used excel to draw my 3D graph. My data was represented in a column graph, it was a bit tricky but I got the hang of it. My target group was the seniors of our school.

I took the survey sheet around myself and personally asked them. 25 children were surveyed. I surmised that Mrs Barry is the most popular teacher. Mr Ramkolowan was the 2nd favourite teacher but the least favourite teachers were Mrs Webster, Mrs Manu and Mr Naidoo.

I think that most of the children chose Mrs Barry because she is the Sports Teacher and she is very fun to be around, hilarious and is very good at making connections with children.

Cricket or Rugby? by Robin

Last month I decided to find out what sports the seniors liked. I asked the children one
by one.

I surveyed 25 children. The results are as follows.10 children liked rugby. 6 children liked soccer.3 children liked touch. 7 children like other kinds of sports.

Rugby is the popular sport. Cricket was the least popular.

I think that children liked rugby because they like playing it .

Hard materials is so exciting by Matthew

On most Mondays the year seven students from room 11 and room 12 go to technology after morning tea. We go on a bus. It is at Tamaki College. Our teacher is Mr Grundy. Mr Grundy handed out some paper to everyone We were in a workshop. We used a saw to cut the wood. A try square is what we used to make our joints straight. We used a bench vice  to clamp the wood in place before cutting it with a saw.  Four people sit at each bench. Firstly, we have to plan our housing joint. Secondly, choose your best joint and draw it big on a big piece of paper. Thirdly, make your joint.


Hard materials is so exciting. I am making a rubbish truck. The part that I enjoyed the most was designing the five ideas.
