As part of a maths lesson Mr Husseys class learned all about Data they learned what Data means, how to put it together and how to conduct a survey from the different classes in the School. They first brainstormed in groups and came up with different headings for the data such as Favourite cartoons, Favourite Bands, Favourite Vegetable, Favourite TV shows, Favourite Animals, Favourite soccer player/ football player, Favourite Hobbies and Favourite Fruit. Each group picked a heading for the survey and they then called in the students of 4th-6th class to pick their favourite from each category. When they compiled all the information they added up the total for each all this was done roughly. Each group then put their data together and were ready to type it up on the computer and made charts using Microsoft XL. This programme was new to all the children but with a little help at the start they all flew through it and presented lovley colourful charts to display in the hallway. The children enjoyed this exercise as they liked surveying all the students in the senior class and then using the computer to present the work.

The children did a great job and improved and learned new computer skills.
