Why it is important to be hydrated

L.I To understand why staying hydrated is important for our health and our learning.


Hydration means you are having plenty of water and dehydration means you're losing water from your body.


Today we did an activity that’s about hydration and dehydration. We had to find information about the importance of hydration and why we are sometimes dehydrated. We used three websites to help find information. Once we found all the information we put the information into our DLO. 


The fact we thought was interesting is that water delivers nutrients to our cells. Another fact we found interesting was that water can also help our organs function properly.

Pie chart

L.I To plan and carry out a statistical investigation.


Today we did an activity using pie charts. First  we made 4 questions and then collected data by asking the four questions to people around the classroom. When we finished collecting all of the data we took the information from our paper, to make a pie chart on a google spreadsheet. We also made a chart on paper before starting the digital chart.


What we noticed is that the a lot of people's favourite color is blue. The colors red, green, and black had the same amount of votes. Pie charts are really helpful for collecting data as well.

Summary of te tiriti Treaty of Waitangi

 Today My group and I were reading about the Treaty of Waitangi. To start, we used the book that we were reading to help us create our summary about the Treaty of Waitangi. What we learned from the book is that the treaty of Waitangi is a day of celebration to remember a historical day of peace, where the treaty was signed by a big number of chiefs. In this activity we learnt about information of the Treaty of Waitangi and about why it was signed by many chiefs so New Zealand could be a part of the British Empire.
