HAIKU POETRY

Writing stories with a Welsh theme. Children created stories based in a welsh setting, with Welsh characters and at least three Welsh symbols of Wales. You can read some of them here.

Using compass points to find places on a map
We used the 8 points of a compass and used this to direct our peers to places of interest on a map of wales. We were able to locate places and give directions from one place to another. We had great fun doing this.

Pictograms
Pictograms
We collected data as a class in order to create a pictogram. We decided to collect data on the classes favourite fruit and their favourite Welsh symbol.
We ensured that the table and data was collected accurately. Using a key and graph paper, we created a pictogram!
Bar Charts
Bar Charts
We then used the skills we had learnt to create bar charts.
We used SALT to check that they were accurate:
S- Scale
A- Axis
L- Labels
T- Title
We can now ask questions and find information from charts!
We transferred our numeracy skills from paper to technology - collecting data for topics of our own choice! We used SALT to ensure our charts were accurate!
