What a fantastic half term Flamingo Class has had with our topic of ‘Moving and Growing’! We have learnt so much about our bodies and how they work! It also led us to looking at how our bodies enable us to develop in sport.
Mr George introduced the hypothesis ‘Does the length of our leg affect the distance we can jump?’ This led to a lot of class discussions as you can imagine! So off we went with our Numeracy Investigation.
We started off with planning our investigations in groups. We then looked at all the variables that would affect the investigation and how we could keep it as fair as possible. After this, we measured our legs to the nearest 1cm and recorded our converted measurements in millimetres.

Once we all knew how long our legs were, we began jumping and took averages. We all jumped three times, recording the jump distance in centimetres. If you would like to see our results please come into class and view our bar charts. The results even surprised us! We may just have the next TCI International Long Jumper in our midst! But how long are their legs?
