Sensational Surveys

I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains. MNU 1-20a

I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b

Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a

We have been working in groups to create our own surveys. We had to think of the question we would ask and the options for the answers. We then asked another class in the school. We recorded our information in a table then had to transfer it to a bar graph. We made sure we labelled it appropriately and used the correct scale. We made predictions about what the results would show and compared our predictions with the result. We then used a spreadsheet in ICT to make a bar graph on the computer.

We also used Venn and Carroll diagrams to sort polar animals into different categories.

GREAT GAMES!

I can follow and understand rules and procedures, developing my ability to achieve personal goals. I recognise and can adopt different roles in a range of practical activities. HWB 1-23a

The children worked collaboratively to create there own games in the playground.

They made up rules for their games and each group had to explain them to the class, and lead the class when playing their game.

The class gave feedback after each game looking at what worked well and any improvements that could be made.

 

img_1002We asked the class calculations and the first one on the answer got to ask the next question. img_1001We had to split the class into 2 groups so there weren’t too many people running to the same number.
img_0999We all started standing in a circle. Someone stood in the middle and threw the ball to each person in turn. img_0998If someone didn’t catch the ball they had to go and do an assault course.
img_0997Lots of people dropped the ball or didn’t throw it back very well. img_0996They had to throw another ball between 2, ten times.
img_0995We threw the ball up in the air and caught it ten times. img_0994
img_0993We saw how far we could travel balancing the ball on the bat. img_0992You had to get the ball in the hoop.
