Probability

Over the next couple of weeks we are exploring probability. We have been learning about chance and the probability of something happening. It is impossible, possible or certain. We played a game with dice today, one person tries to throw doubles and the other person throws single numbers.

              

This is the game.

These are some of our thoughts.

Paula – it’s better to throw single numbers because your more likely to get counters

Jack – I like doubles – you get to take 5 counters

Liefke – singles because you get to take counters nearly every tur

Ryans – ones you have a better chance of winning

Rich- ones because doubles are harder to get to take counters

Abbey - ones because doubles are harder to get and take counters

Charlotte – doubles more of a chance to win you can take 5

Orton – Both – because you have an even chance of winning

Caitlin - doubles – because when you win you take more counters

Patrick – doubles you have a better chance of winning but its harder

Olivia - doubles you can take more but you have a higher chance of throwing singles

Tino – doubles because you can take 5

First Day Of Term 2

Wahoo what a great day. Everyone is so enthusiastic and ready to learn. We got into our cross country training which was a challenge but we have to start somewhere.




I was on duty at lunch time and saw the most amazing fun happening with the leaves.

Cardboard Day

What a great day. I love the creativity and enthusiasm the children have. They all collaborated and made some incredible things. We had the Apple Store with an iPad, laptop and iPhone all on shelves. Another group made a shop that sold food it had a cash register, money, oven and a table. Others made boats, cannons, armour, swords, robots, tanks, golf game, cubby houses and an iwatch. Wow what a creative bunch. 

Art for Kaiapoi

What an amazing job. Thanks Christine for sharing your talent and community spirit with us. 

Art for Kaiapoi

We have been part of the You Me We and Us mural project. We have been practising our art with they year 8 students and today we got to add our own bit to the whole school mural. You can see it as you drive into Kaiapoi from the south end of Williams Street. 

Dodge ball fun

Tim Bateman

             

Gosh we are so lucky to have Tim Bateman come to school and visit us. He has played for the two best teams in Super Rugby. The Hurricanes and the Crusaders. He shared with us his sayings:

 If it is to be it is up to me. 

You have to fake it to become it.

Pressure makes diamonds.

Great advice 🏈
