Our Topic…

1 Comment

To start off the year we are combining the work we have done in citizenship and ECO to investigate the topic of ‘Weather and Climate Change’.

Today we did our topic plan as a class, deciding the areas and questions we want to investigate, as well as the skills that we aim to develop.

Our aim is to:

    Produce a weather report using factual information and present to a group/ the class.

We have separated our topic into three main themes:

Local Weather: On Our Doorstep (OOD)
What causes Inverness weather to change so quickly?

National Weather: Great British Weather (GBW)
Why is the weather different all across Great Britain?

Global Weather: World Wide Weather (WWW)
How does the weather have an impact on climate change?

The skills we are going to focus on developing are:

Basic Skills

  • Research
  • Critical Reading
  • Critical Writing
  • Measuring and Testing
  • Reading Scales
  • Note-Taking
  • Presenting information

Social Skills

  • Listening
  • Co-operation
  • Presenting as a group
  • Agreeing to disagree
  • Sharing ideas
  • Reaching group consensus
  • Talking aloud

If Mum, Dad or anyone at home has any fabulous ideas for ‘Weather and Climate Change’, or any expertise which you would feel useful, please pop into see us, or drop a note in.

Last session, our P6/7 pupils entered the ‘Mini Saga’ writing competition in which they had to write a story in only 50 words. We are delighted to see that 59 of our P6/7 pupils from last session have been chosen to be published.

All children who are to be published should have received a letter. The book will be published in September. The school will receive a copy for the class library.

Can’t wait to see all of the Mini Sagas in the book!
