Statistics Investigation-By Jake

In room 3 at the moment, we are studying Statistics. We have been learning about gathering information, collating it and graphing it. As part of this unit, we also had to do our own Statistical Investigation. My investigation was on favourite ice-cream flavours in Room 3.
For the statistical investigation we have been asking the class questions and recording them.
Once we had asked the questions and recorded our answers we had to draft 3 graphs on each topic.
Then we would use our three graphs and put them onto a A3 piece of paper to make a poster. This has been quite interesting and challenging as I have learnt a lot about various graphs. What did the rest of room 3 think about doing these investigations?

Concertinas- By Jess

At the end of term 2, Room 3 had a poetry assignment to complete a concertina.
We had to choose 4 different types of poetry. We had covered concrete, haiku, Acrostic, Limerick, Turn abouts, rhyming, free verse, Cinquains and many others. Our concertinas had to be as creative as they could be. We had a great time doing this and some of the results were amazing!

ROOM 3’S BP CHALLENGE - By Cameron and Abbey

On Thursday last week, Room 3 had a BP technology challenge. The criteria was to create a special occasion outfit. We were allowed to use ten sheets of newspaper per team and sellotape. Each team had 3 students in it. We had a time limit of 40 minutes. When the time was up we had a catwalk where our models presented their newspaper outfits. Everybody had a very exciting afternoon. Check out the photos to see the different garments we came up with.
