Distance from School and Travelling
You will need the class data sheet and page R1.
The time you take to travel to school depends how far away you live.
Class 1Z at Wombleshire School drew up Table 4.
They used their class data sheet.
They made a tally mark for each pupil in turn (opposite the correct colour band and under the time taken). Then they added up the tally marks.
So there were seven pupils in the yellow band. Of these, one took five minutes or less to get to school.
