http://drewtanfield.weebly.com/ As part of our Global Learning, we have been looking at Fairtrade. Today we created adverts or posters to share the message and encourage others to look for the Fairtrade logo.
As you can see we had lots of fantastic designs - keep your eye out for some of then appearing around school. In R.E. this week we will be creating a comic strip to show another version of the creation story.
This link will be used as part of our lesson. http://www.aboriginalartonline.com/ Today we prepared and presented our Fairtrade presentations based on the point of views suggested in the Fairtrade post below. It was very interesting to see how we worked together to produce our final presentation. Each group has a presentation creator, a researcher, a blogger and a motivator all with different roles to help achieve the end result. I was very impressed with how some groups used each role to support another and produce some high quality research. We ended up with: 3 power points, 2 iMovies and 2 piccollages. Some presentations were supported with additional posters as well. It was an excellent way for us to share what we had found and to help us understand the concept of Fairtrade. Well done everyone! Here is a short video showing our afternoon's efforts: In our lesson on Monday we will be considering Fair Trade and what we can do in our own lives to help make a difference in other countries around the world.
We are going to use this post to keep a record of some of the discussion we will be having on Monday afternoon (so don't blog anything yet) As part of the lesson, we are going to consider the following scenarios.
We have had a lot of good discussion surrounding this topic thanks to our international visitors. As part of our lessons we have been considering the questions posed in the earlier post, particularly why we eat and where food comes from. This has led to comparisons between our own lives and others in less fortunate circumstances around the world. Here are some of our findings: Our discussion on 'why we eat' led to lots of interesting suggestions. We could also see a clear difference between wealthier countries and those with less money. Working in groups, investigating photographs from around the world and deciding on answers to. 'Why do we eat?' We represented some of our ideas as paper plate messages for a display board. In the following session we thought about where we get out food from and how this contrasts in different countries. Here are some of our thoughts: Well done to all of the children in Years 3,4,5 and 6 who took part in the Derwentside Swimming Gala today. There were lots of medals and even a trophy awarded. More information to follow. On Tuesday, we were visited author Nick Sharratt. Inspired by his books 'Pants' and 'More Pants' we all showed off our own special creations. Following our Mary's Meal Charity Single before Christmas, we will be beginning to consider some of the issues surrounding food in the World. This week there are a number of key questions that we will be considering. 1. Why do we need food? (Think about why our bodies need the different types of food we eat as well as eating for pleasure - because food tastes nice) 2. Where do we get our food from? (Think about all of the places you get your food from). 3. Do people in different countries get their food from the same places? 4. Does everyone eat food for the same reasons? Success card stamps for anyone who tries to answer some of these questions. You could wait until after our lessons on Tuesday and Thursday before you answer. Remember we can use www.oddizzi.com to help us with our research. It would be excellent if some of our visitors from around the world this week could help us by answering some of the questions based on where they live. Thank you in advance. Here are some photographs to help you with you thinking. Buying fruit at a London Market: An Egyptian family eating fast food. Pounding millet in Senegal: Cooking in Africa: Picking coffee in Peru: An expensive restaurant in Newcastle:
We arrived safely at 11.00am,had a safety talk from Stuart our guide and Ian who runs the centre. After lunch we headed off on a circular 4-5 mile walk from the centre to Reeth and over Swaledale. On our return we enjoyed a hearty tea and relaxation followed by hot chocolate and bed, ready for another trek tomorrow...
While most of Year 5 were away at Grinton, our display about the Wreck of the Zanzibar has magically disappeared and been replaced. It now shows off some of the artwork we completed based on Alfred Noyes' book 'The Highway Man' as well as our news reports based on the 'Highway Rat' by Julia Donaldson.
What did you like about the topic? Which of the two books did you like the most? And why? Do you think you would like to be a Highwayman? Why or why not? Despite it being the holidays, our learning is still very important! This week, Brooke has managed to give herself a little bit of time to continue to practice her numeracy skills on 'Mathletics'.
So far she is the only member of the class to have achieved a certificate during the half term holidays with a fantastic 2480 points. Well done Brooke, See me after Grinton for a Success Card Stamp! If you are reading this and you are in Year 5, why not go and earn your own certificate NOW!? Year 5 and 6 children celebrate with the winning cup after a tough battle for first place in the CNS High Five netball competition. As part of our focus on E-safety this week, some of the children in Years 4,5 and 6 wrote their own radio scripts to promote staying safe online. We did have a few technical issues, but eventually our show was broadcast to the rest of the school. If you missed it, would like to listen again or are looking for e-safety tips give it a listen by downloading the show from the link below.
We have been working hard this morning completing our art for an upcoming, whole school, art exhibition. Our art is based on Australian Aboriginal art and follows an under the water theme. All of our work will be completed soon, framed and then displayed as part of the exhibition. Here is a sneak preview: Drew's effort is particularly effective. He has taken great care to follow the Aboriginal style. If he doesn't end up buying his own work, I'll be keen to snap it up for the classroom. Fantastic work Drew, see me for a success card stamp! Not only has Rachel explained to her Dad about staying safe online, she has also completed these colourful advice posters. Great job Rachel. Hopefully others will magpie some of your ideas. We have been working very hard across school today to raise our awareness of staying safe online.Year 5, have spent a large part of their lessons today making sure they know how to stay safe on the internet including: - sharing ideas in assembly. - fnding and reading posters around school. - esafety themed literacy. - watching Safer Internet Day TV. - creating our own e-safety interactive quiz games. Below are the ideas Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 had about staying safe online. This was a great way to start our day, showing we already had a good level of understanding. Children in Years 4 & 5 finding and reading e-safety posters around school. How many can you find? In our literacy lesson we created e-safety stories using scenario cards. We had to choose a character, location, device and emotion and then write a short educational story about being safe online under our chosen circumstances. Here is a small selection of our stories. What messages can we learn from them? At lunchtime, some of us gave up a few moments of our own time to add extra ideas to those we had in our morning assembly. In the final part of our day, we created our own e-safety games using Tiny Tap. We then challenged each other by playing the games and putting what we had learned throughout the day to the test. |
