This week in science, Year 1 carried out a pattern seeking investigation. In groups of 5 or 6, they had to investigate whether the children who had the biggest hand spans could hold the most amount of counters or cubes and whether the children who had the longest feet could jump the furthest. Some teams found this to be true and other teams found this to be false. Therefore, Year 1 decided that overall as a class there can sometimes be a pattern/link between these two factors but not always. They said that they would like to try out some further investigations such as can people with the biggest hand span throw the furthest? Or can people with the longest feet kick the furthest?
