Pupil Agency in P6

Running alongside our Democracy context this term the class have demonstrated their Pupil Agency by also creating a project on a topic of their choice. One member of the class chose to do The Cold War and as you can see from the photos he created a  set of diorama’s to represent the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is his explanation of each diorama.

My Diorama’s 

I made my dioramas for my school project- cold war. I made 2 dioramas; one of the Cuban Missile Crisis and one of the Berlin Wall. It took me 2 weeks to make my dioramas. I used sand and glue for the Cuban beach, and I used toilet paper, paint and glue for the ocean. For my berlin wall I used cardboard and paint for the wall and oil pastels for the graffiti. I think my dioramas are accurate representations of each event.  

 

New IDL Context in P4

 

By exploring climate zones around the world, I can compare and describe how climate affects living things. SOC 1-12b

By exploring a natural environment different from my own, I can discover how the physical features influence the variety of living things. SOC 1-13b

Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used. SOC 1-13a

P4A have been exploring their new IDL context for this term, which is all about our environment, climate zones and comparisons between them.

So far, they have completed their key questions which they want answered and have identifies the 3 main climate zones on the world map.

They have also begun thinking about the animal and plant life  in different climate zones and how they have adapted.

P3A Learning

This term we have moved on the learn about writing Explanations. We started off looking at an Explanation titled Why a Goalkeeper’s Job is Important. We learned about the sections of the writing Title, Identifying Statement, Explanation Sequence & Summary Statement. We then looked at the text and highlighted the nouns. After that we spoke about present tense verbs and highlighted them. We found this quite hard so will continue to work on them this term.

We have started learning to create pictograms. We started by drawing a small picture of ourselves making sure to show our hair colour. We then added our pictures to the graph on the board. By doing this it was easy to see what colour of hair most of the class had. We then answered questions about the information shown by the graph. We then did the same with eye colour. We also learned that a graph needs a title and both of the axis need to be labeled. Mrs Spence is really missing her square board that she had in the old school!!
