Class Diary by BCM

On the 7th of October  me and 11 other people from 6th class went to St.Stewarts.

We got to help loads of boys and girls of many ages.  We played catch and football.  We got to push their wheelchairs towards the goal and they pushed it in.  Some couldn't talk but we all had loads of fun.

Unfortunately we had to go but we were all so happy that we got to play with them.  I hope I can go again because I really enjoyed spending time with such amazing boys and girls.

Maths: Data - Multiple Bar Charts

This week we are learning about data. We are focussing on how to collect data, as well as how to represent and interpret data on graphs.  We revised pictographs, pie charts, bar charts, and multiple bar charts during today's lesson.

We worked in our maths groups and compiled data by asking our group leader to visit the other groups and ask questions.  We plotted our data on a multiple bar chart.  You can see our results by clicking on this image:

All of our multiple bar charts are on our Maths wall for all our visitors to see.
