This week we have started to watch some clips from different Bollywood films, to help us to learn more about them. We have started to think of lots of different questions, which we know need to find out the answer to. Answering our questions will help us to create our own short Bollywood films at the end of term. We can’t wait to start acting!

Today in Numeracy we asked the question ‘What kinds of films do you like best?’ The categories were action, comedy, scary, romance, and musical and animation. Then we questioned everyone is our class and this helped us create our tally chart. We were very noisy whilst questioning our class members. After this we calculated the number of people which had voted for each category. Next we used the information to transform a tally chart into a pictogram. The most popular category was scary. What was you most popular category? The least popular was action and animation. What was the least popular category?
Please leave a comment to tell us about the least favourite and most favourite films.
