Movies

Today we had some discussion and learning about the ratings of movies.
We learned that the colours on the labels are like the colours on the traffic lights. The M rating means that although anyone could see the movie, it is more suited to older viewers.

The classification office of New Zealand says:

"The M classification means the movie might contain violence, offensive language, drug use, sexual or adult themes or nudity that some kids and parents find challenging.

A lot of blockbusters based on books popular with the 10+ age group are classified M, including most of the Harry Potter movies, The Hobbit trilogy and The Hunger Games."

Maths

Today in Maths we talked about data.

We started with a question that we wanted to answer. 
Then we collected the data from the class using a tally chart.
Next, we turned our raw data into a bar graph.
Lastly, we made some statements about the results using words like "more, most, fewer, less".

We did all this in our maths books. Next week we will see how it works on a spreadsheet.
