This afternoon Reception were learning how to make pictograms. We used ourselves to make pictograms showing how many boys and girls there are in Reception, how many people have a brother and how many don't, and whether carrots or apples are more popular to eat at snack time.
Then we worked together to make a pictogram to find out what the most popular fruit is in Reception. We had to take it in turns to choose our favourite fruit and put the right picture in the right place. Then we talked about what we had found out and answered questions about the data.
We found out that apples were the most popular and strawberries were the second most popular. Two more people liked apples than bananas, and only one person liked pineapple best. No one chose grapes, oranges or peaches as their favourite, but we talked about it and decided it doesn't mean nobody likes these fruits - they just aren't their favourites.
A special well done to Reece for super thinking - when I asked him how many people liked apples best, he started to count, then stopped and said "four." I asked him how he knew it was four without counting, and he pointed to the number 4 next to the last picture of an apple. "Because it goes up to four." Great thinking Reece!
Also a big well done to Luke, who made his own pictogram in his Play and Learn time showing what the most popular colour is in Reception and wrote a sentence about what he had found out.
