Saw an interesting lesson on graphing.
First students completed a game together on the IWB: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/maths/organising_data/play/
This was a good introduction to graphs, a subject which the students had not previously encountered.
Then the teacher used the regular whiteboard to conduct a survey of hair colour. (Interesting how many students asserted that the Eurasian kids had brown hair, when several had black hair.) Then they drew this graph in their books. There was a lot for them to learn in this lesson - they picked up on the word 'axis' from their work on the globe, but some had difficulty copying the graph in their books.
