This morning, you are going to work in pairs/trios to collect and display information about the amount and type of litter found in the playground. This is a Monday morning so the litter found in the playground is a mixture of what our pupils have dropped, what has been blown in and what people have dropped over the weekend.
In groups made up of P5 and P7 pupils, you will collect the data by surveying the Upper, Middle or Infant playgrounds. You will record the information using a tally table on whiteboards (it is No Paper Day after all), then you will transfer this to an bar/pie chart on Maths is Fun.
Please use the link below:

Remember the features of a bar chart:
- title (including all of your names)
- X-axis label
- Y-axis label
- name the bars (categories)
- enter the values (amounts)
You may also take 3 photos of your group working , as well as the litter. Once you have completed the online bar/pie chart, please take a screen shot and AirDrop it and the 3 photos to the ‘Hut 1’ iPad.
Mrs O’Neill and I are looking for your pair/trio to:
- work and stay together
- including everyone
- taking turns
- contributing ideas
- manners – saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’
- staying on task being responsible.
Good luck and enjoy working together!
