    1. What children at my school think about the courtyard Olivia Wallis Age 10

    2. Introduction What is the courtyard? It is an outside area where we can grow things and sometimes where we learn. It is next to the Hawks classroom The Hawks are a year 5 and 6 class Why this topic? I wanted to do this topic to see what people thought about it I wanted to find out who people thought the courtyard should belong to, what should be in it, and who should look after it. What is my research question? What do children at my school think about the courtyard?

    3. Methodology Who were my participants? I handed out my questionnaire to Key Stage 2 children at my school I handed out about 50 questionnaires I got 18 back I chose these children because I thought they would be able to read the questionnaire, as younger children might not understand the words. What methods did I use? I collected my data using a questionnaire I used a mix of open and closed questions For the closed questions I analysed them by drawing a tally chart For my open questions I analysed them by using coding. I typed up all of my answers and trimmed them individually. Then I sorted them out into groups which had the same theme. My research project took 5 months.

    4. Ethical Issues To make sure the questionnaire was anonymous I made sure people did not put their names on it. I made sure that the questionnaires were confidential by keeping them in a locked cupboard. I made sure that I didn’t put complicated words in, so people could understand it.

    5. Findings

    6. What do you think we should use the courtyard for?

    9. If yes, what type of plants would you like?

    11. What would you be willing help with?

    12. Do you have any suggestions about the courtyard?

    13. Conclusion What I found out Out of 18 people, 9 said that everyone should be able to use the courtyard. Of the 6 Hawks girls asked, 5 said that just the Hawks should use it My research has found out that a lot of people would like some more seating in the courtyard. 14 out of 18 people said this. I also found that a lot of people would be willing to help with the courtyard. How did my project go? I think it went quite well, because I found out everything that I wanted to find out If I did it again I would try and hand it out to more people so I got more questionnaires back.
