Maths - Graphs

On Friday 7th March, we did Statistics with our question being "What is Room 16's favourite fruit".  Each child drew a picture of their favourite fruit and then we came together and shared what our favourite fruit is.  Then we stood and made a "human graph" to show our results.  
Watermelon had the most children say that it was their favourite fruit and the least favourite fruit were plum, pear, orange, mango, grape and passionfruit as only one child liked each one.
We've also been looking at words used in statistics, for example; most, least, tally marks, data, graphs, pie graphs, bar graphs, y axis and x axis.  

Below is a picture of our "human graph".




Water Safety (Topic & Health & P.E.)

Room 16 was lucky enough to have the use of life-jackets for a couple of weeks and we learnt about making sure we had a life-jacket that fitted correctly, feeling comfortable wearing it (through floating) and how we can survive if we were to fall out of a boat.
