Maybe llok at how to create pictograms where each picture is 1 person. Highers - to maybe do bar charts with me or where a picture has a higher value.

a quick pictogramthat I do as an intro is to give them a slip of paper/post it with an eye on/or hair and they have to colour it in according to their eye/hair colour and then stick on whiteboard to create an immediate pictogram |

I got my Year 3s to all bring in an empty crisp packet for their favourite flavour crisp. Made a pictogram on the whiteboard with blu-tack. Children loved doing it and very keen to do more. |
