Thanks so much to everyone who has taken part in CensusAtSchool so far…
We’re almost at 10,000 responses!
If you haven’t taken part yet, there’s still time. Please help us get the number of students taking part to be as big as possible.
We’d love your feedback if you’ve taken part so far – we’ll be doing a proper survey later in the year but if you have any little stories or feedback you can send in, I’d love to share it with everyone. Could you reply to this email with those?

Unfortunately we were notified at the very last minute that the CensusAtSchool story was pulled from 3 News last night due to the late breaking Osama bin Laden news yesterday which took up a lot of the news hour.
We hope that the story will screen on 3 News tonight!
Welcome back… we’re SO excited that CensusAtSchool launches today!!!

Just a quick note to let you know a story on CensusAtSchool is being filmed right now for 3 News tonight!
We’ll let you know the link when it’s up online too, but thought you might like to tune in and tell your students!
It’s almost the end of the term and we know you’re looking forward to a well-earned lovely two week break!!
We just wanted to remind you that it’s time to take part in CensusAtSchool when you get back.

Stay tuned for more updates.
You can now preview the questions for this year’s CensusAtSchool:
http://www.censusatschool.org.nz/2011/questions/
New questions include:
Asking the students for their mother’s favourite learning area when she was at school (in addition to their own favourite learning area). It will be fun to explore if there are any patterns between these two!
A matching pairs memory game. Who’s the fastest?
Rugby World cup predictions – which teams will be in the final and what will be the final score?
Let us know what you think of these!
We wanted to let you know about a fantastic new Level 4 resource on our site:
This resource focuses on the planning part of the enquiry cycle: collecting good, reliable data from surveys.
CensusAtSchool update:
Remember to register and book a computer lab for your class to take part in May.
Can you help spread the word and let other teachers know?
We’d love to get the biggest participation ever this year!
This year we’ll be asking questions on lots of topics including getting your students to predict the final two teams and their scores for the Rugby World Cup.
CensusAtSchool is a nationwide online survey for Year 5 – 13 students which provides real, relevant data and classroom activities to enhance statistical enquiry across the curriculum.
We’ll keep you updated via email newsletters in the lead up to CensusAtSchool in May.
