Transition Year maths students worked very hard on entering the John Hooper Statistics Poster Competition throughout March. The Central Statistics Office organised the competition and the deadline for entries was on Friday, 23rd March - the last day of last term!
Students enjoyed choosing topics of their interest to gather data on and present their findings on a poster. The topics ranged from recycling, gender roles, transport, terrorism, politics, Net Flix, music and on connecting music and personalities. Questionnaires were given to all students in the school based on these topics, results were tallied, analysed, displayed on graphs and finally put together to create an eye catching poster.
The T.Y. students enjoyed using statistics to gain information on their fellow students and made excellent posters.

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
