Student Blogging Challenge Week 3: A week in the life of... US

All about us

As we have been studying how to collect and display data for statistics we decided to present our challenge for this week mostly in graphic form.

See if you can answer our quiz questions in this Photo Peach

As you can see from this graph, we are early risers in Room 4.  Many of us are up between 6am-6.30am with quarter of our class getting up at 7.30am.  As many of us catch the bus to school we HAVE to be out of bed by 7.30am at the latest!

Max found out that 2/3 of our class bus to school as we live outside of the Lawrence township.  The remaining students get dropped off at school by parents.  However, this may change as we move into the warmer summer months, with some students biking or walking.

Alesana investigated our lunch boxes and was surprised to find out how healthy we all were.  Fruit was the most common lunchbox item, followed by biscuits.   Because he did his survey on a Wednesday, several students had a lunch order, however these are only available on Wednesdays.

Samara discovered that the most common amount of weekly pocket money for Room 4 students was $5, followed closely by no pocket money.  Mrs O was very surprised to see that a small number of students received $10 per week (or more!)

Alyssa  compared Room 1 (our 5 year olds) and Room 4's bedtimes.  As you can see from her graph there are not as many students in our New Entrant class, but we were all pleased to find out that they generally all are in bed before us.  The most common bedtime for our class was between 8pm-8.30pm.

Paris investigated how Room 4 students celebrate their birthday and found out that it was most common to have a party or to get friends over.  The least common way for Room 4 children to celebrate their birthday is to go out for tea.

Toby was very interested about the types of TV that students had at home.  He discovered that SKY TV was the most popular, followed by Freeview.

Kate investigated the whole school Wednesday lunch orders and was surprised to find out how popular chicken tenders and chips are!  We think that the corner shop in Lawrence must have to order in lots of these for Wednesdays.

Lanie tallied the number of students in each year group in the junior part of our school.  She found out that the Year 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 classes all had similar numbers of students.  Interestingly, the Year 3 group (of which she is part of) is one of the smallest in our school.  We wonder why?
