Well done boys and girls .... lots of mathematical thinking involved in this task! :-)We have been busy carrying out some market research for our chosen product ‘Party in a Pot’. We carried out a number of surveys on children in our school and our families and friends outside of school also. We then used our school chrome books to create spreadsheets of all of our data. We then made bar charts and pie charts to depict our findings and we presented these to the class :-) Well done to the Kilkerley team members from 3rd and 4th class on their fantastic achievement in the Vex Robotics IQ Challenge Regional Final which took place in DKIT. There was a great team spirit in how they all supported and encouraged each other during the building, coding, driving and video editing parts of the programme. As one of the youngest teams in the competition, they proved they were up to the challenge and they did exceptionally well on the big day. Thanks also to their parents and mentors for their support in the past few months.
