Week 2:

The purpose of this week is for each group of students to establish whether they have a healthy lifestyle. By conducting surveys of what each student had for breakfast, the time they go to bed and the exercise activities they take part in, the students will collect, record and analyse numerical data. The students write a review of the collected data giving them the opportunity to write in a style that is appropriate to the task – sharing information.

The students use the data submitted in week 1 to compare their hair and eye colour with other students around the world. The students use the descriptive text accounts to find information about other participating groups of students.
