What Are We Trying To Accomplish.

• We want to find a way for people to gain points during different subjects, not only in P.E. If ,for example, you do something good in math class, the teacher would give a point towards your animal group. This would help to encourage interest in all subjects and areas of school life. At the end of the school year the group with the most points could then receive a small prise or would be able to do a day trip. For example, an trip to go swimming or visit the caves etc.

Conclusion

• We could use this data to show the student council that not all the grades earned the same amount of points by bringing their P.E kits .We suggested that we could think of something where all the grades have fun collecting points to achieve the goal of receiving a reward at the end of the school year .Perhaps the student council or the students themselves could suggest ways of collecting points .We learnt that 6th Graders remembered their P.E kits more often than the 7th Graders, who remembered more often than the 8th Graders.
