Statistics Update

We've been all systems go for the last three weeks learning about statistics. Below are some posters Room 12B Maths class made to show what they have been learning. We know all about discrete, continuous and categorical data, which graphs are best suited to each type of data, we can interpret a range of graph types and know how to ask effective investigative questions. Next week we will be following the Statistical Enquiry Cycle to complete a formal investigation. We look forward to sharing with you!

Sheppard House Speech Competition

This morning two representatives from each Sheppard class competed in our House Speech Competition. From Room 12B we had Jack with a speech on not growing up too fast, and Holly with her speech on bullying. Everyone did well and impressed the audience, but it was our Holly and Room 11's Finn taking the top two places. Holly and Finn will go on to represent Sheppard House at the HNI Speech Competition in week 10. Good luck you two!

Here are Jack and Holly's speeches.

Year 7 Mathletics

On Friday morning the whole of year 7 competed in a Mathletics competition. In groups of 3 or 4, we had to solve tricky Maths problems as quick as we could. Everyone was very determined, worked hard and most importantly, had fun!
