Welcome to the class blog of Te Whanau Whakaakonga, the family of learners. We are a class of 50 students (years 2, 3 and 4) and 2 teachers, Mrs Allen and Whaea Donna. Our beautiful rural school is called Broadlands School and is near Reporoa (halfway between Taupo and Rotorua) in the central North Island of New Zealand. We have 4 classes and approximately 91 students.

Our Halloween Glyphs
This term our Mathematics strand is ‘statistics and probability’. For statistics we have been presenting data in different ways.
This week we have been making ‘Glyphs’. A glyph is a special picture that tells us information about something or someone.
To interpret the glyph you need a ‘Legend’. The legend explains what the different parts, shapes or colours mean.
These Halloween glyphs tell you all about us.
The rib lines show how old you are. There is one line for each year you are old. Stella's has six lines because she is six.
The eye shape shows how many people are in your family.
Smooth eyebrows are a girl, lightening bolt eyebrows are a boy.
The stem colour shows what kinds of lollies you like best.
The colour of the eyes show whether you like scary movies and stories or not.
