Our STEM topic has had a focus on space linking to maths within daily life, seasons, time, day and night.   In Writing the pupils wrote instructions for how to make a paper plate sundial including a title, goal, materials and steps.  To check if they had written a successful set of instructions the children then created the paper plate sundials by following instructions that were written by someone else rather than their own.  They were then able to give feedback on what went well and what could be improved by peer assessing using the peer assessment placemats in order to link their feedback to the success criteria.

Finally, the children participated in the ‘Let’s Make a Sundial’ challenge to design and create a sundial using readily available resources.
