My Year 5 Numeracy group are creating pie charts this morning. They will be using using statistics from the Germany v Argentina game to create simple pie charts showing:
Shots
Corner kicks
Yellow cards
Possession
To do this the pupils will be using a compass to draw the outline, a protractor to measure the angles and a calculator to calculate the percentage angle out of 360 degrees.
Wish us luck!
In Year 5, we have been using PurpleMash to support our learning about Data Handling. As an introduction to Pie Charts, we have taken statistics from the FIFA website and created Pie Charts to represent them. The charts below contain statistics about Germany and Argentina from the 5 games they have played.

Year 5 completed their end of year tests last week. One area that was shown to be an area for development was answering more complex questions about data represented in tables, graphs and charts.

Today in Literacy I have my writing group all morning! I love it when this happens because as a group, we can really get to the nitty gritty of writing! We have looked at two different match reports from last night’s game between Ghana and Germany. One from the Telegraph and the one in the presentation below is from Sky Sports News. The pupils have vandalised one match report showing all the features they can identify. As a result, the pupils have come up with their own rules for writing a great newspaper report. These are displayed under the photo display of their vandalised/annotated work!

Features of a Newspaper Report:
- Introduction (Orientation paragraph)
- Quotes
- Facts (mainly)
- Opinions (occasionally)
- Exciting vocabulary

Tomorrow, we will be looking at what other people say makes a great newspaper article and we will see how accurate our features are!

The football is no ordinary ball, its what we play for, what we live for, no-one can take its place. It rolls onto your foot and makes you feel the power, the energy and the freedom. The football struggles to get to the net but all the difficulty passes through your mind and reappears at the target. The ball is kicked and gently placed in the net. All is cheering , and Germany should win! Never lose hope, just have a go , So come on Germany!!!

I thought i could just take this little poem I made and put it on the blog to keep you fasinated by the Germany blog. Hope you enjoy it.
We fight our fears, and say hello world.
This is the step I take to change my life,
You want to reach your goal, and win the world cup by your feet?
A little kick can change a lifetime in the last minute.
Day by day you grow stronger, and harder.
COME ON GERMANY WE WILL FIGHT FOR OUR TITLE!!!
