I can read and interpret a range of graphs


I can read and interpret a range of graphs



For maths I have been learning to read and interpret a range of graphs. This relates to the National Standards as it meets the criteria of:
  • I can compare distributions visually (Year ⅞ Standard)


Here is link to my Statistical Literacy spreadsheet link which shows all of the graphs and tables I can read and interpret.


I have also compared and contrasted some of the graphs. Below are the links to them

My next step is to use these in my leadership investigation next term.

My Argument

For writing we have been learning to write an argument using the writing process. The topic was “Are Devices Taking Over Our Lives”.

Something I did really well in my writing was coming up with ideas that fit the topic.

Here is a section of my writing that shows this.

Peer mediation merit evidence can do (post 3)

Peer mediation

On Wednesday I had peer mediation with Savannah. We got our lan yards, high vis and iPad and went to the junior area first. Once we got their we had juniors come up to us and say hi we let them talk to us for a little bit then they went off to play, then saw a little girl get pushed over (she was playing a game) so we took her to a duty teacher to get sorted. Then we left to go to the left side of the field to walk around and keep an eye out, we had more juniors come up to us and they talk to us then the bell rang and they ran to their classes and we started to head back to class to line up. 


The learner qualities/care values I used are:
. Respect by following the rules and not beings bias.

PE- fielding and striking reflection

WALT: Apply Striking and Fielding activities in a range of sports and activities.

My Strengths Standing side on and having a good grip on the racket.

The striking strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were have a good grip and follow through a little bit.

The throwing and catching strategies I was able to effectively demonstrate during the games we played were watching the ball to where it went and followed through.

My Next Steps are to be more forward and be more involved physical.

To improve my striking of a ball I need to watch the ball coming towards me because the I can aim better.


To Improve my catching and fielding I need to watch the ball and cup my hands because then I'll be ready to catch the ball.


The game that I enjoyed the most was rounders because I got a go at fielding and striking all at one go.

I can compare and contrast the author's purpose in relation to structure and language choices and identify leadership traits in a text)

Here is an example of my learning



Run/Bike/Run merit evidence must do

Run/bike/run

On Monday we had RBR, I was in a group with Hannah I was doing both of the runs and Hannah was doing the bike. It took place at Halswell Domain we were walking down there, we had a police officer helping us cross the main road. When we got their we listened to all the rules and had some food, Emily and I helped with the 3 races guiding the bikers to their track, I helped a little girl who hurt her foot by carrying her to aid. Then it was our race I was nervous because my knee was playing up, when it started I ran the lap tagged Hannah to bike she biked the lap tagged me then I ran the 2nd lap and stopped at the base. My knee was pretty sore from the run so I got a ride from Ms. B to school once we got their I got an ice pack then went to assembly.

The learner qualities I used were:

. Be self aware of the other people around me

. Be resilient by finishing the race when I had a sore knee 

The flag referendum

Today Lachlan and I were researching/seeing if the current flag should change or not.

The doc we researched on

We researched on if the flag should be changed or not and all the perspectives, then we had to put the research in categories e.g. common knowledge, expert opinion, personal opinion etc..

Once we were done we had an overall, I think I did well because I can explain why the flag shouldn't be changed and vis versa.
