The whole class worked together to explore the impact maths has had on the world. Pupils were split into research groups and then shared their findings with the rest of the class. They were given choice over how to present their findings and encouraged to ask questions at the end of the presentations.
Here are the 6 ‘umbrellas‘ of maths that the class researched:
Science Medicine Finance Design Engineering Technology
Presentation pictures will be added soon
P 5-7 have had many experiences and lessons this year to try to ignite their imagination. Through Word Aware they developed their vocabulary and during VCOP (VCOP info) activities they explored how to add extra pizzazz to their writing. After discussing their ideas and interests we planned activities that they would find engaging. Their final 2016/17 writing assessment was an imaginative story.
Task:
Write an imaginative story with interesting characters, a magical setting and a plot that will entertain the reader.
Criteria:
– Provide suitable detailed information about a character or setting to fit the genre through description and/or dialogue.
– Write a story that has a detailed opening, middle and appropriate conclusion.
– Consistently continue the characters, setting and events of the original story with sufficient supporting detail.
They rose to the challenge and produced some very entertaining stories! Some titles include….
Trapped The Portal The Shy Girl Dashes
Help! The Book from Another World The Darmis
A Christmas Eve Adventure The Ungrowable Sapling
The Magical Monopoly Adventure The Aphelion
The Phenomenal Adventure Pencil Case

Today got artistic and messy outdoors. We have been thinking about inherited traits, evolution and why organisms adapt and change over time. We decide that we would ‘evolve’….hairstyles, wizards and teachers!
After scavenging to find painting tools we got started. We had to work in teams to complete our creations then explain their evolution process to the rest of the class.
