Class Survey Bonus Challenge

You'll need some parental help with this one - so grab a grown-up and let's get going.

Think of something you could survey in your house. Maybe what bugs you find in the garden, what colour your toys are, what food types you find in the kitchen (remember Bread & Pasta, Meats, Fish, Fruit and Vegetables and Dairy). Draw a tally chart to show this. 

Now use this website to show the information as a graph. 

Bring the graph to school and show it to us if you can!
