Multifaceted learning with a science focus

Multifaceted learning this week had a science focus. The different facets included how to keep ice cold, finding out what the temperature was in different areas of the school and using the sense of touch to identify whether something was very cold, cold, warm or very warm.

Here are photos of the learning taking place.

This week the facets have been linked to our main theme of "Being a child during WWII"

The children have made sculptures inspired by Henry Moore and the drawings he made of the huddled people in the underground stations.
Some children created independent work using Purple Mash and finally, other children identified the different historical sources of information we have used so far.

Did you enjoy using the clay? What words could you use to describe the sensation of shaping it?

Can you identify one historical source of information we have used to help us understand what life was like?

Have you been on Purple Mash at home?

Multifaceted learning afternoon

There was a buzz of excitement in the Year Four classroom today.

We tried something new called "Multifaceted Learning" The idea came from Miss Kitchen who used this method with her Year Six class last year.

This is how it looked.

We had a literacy, history and science activity all going on at the same time. Two activities had an adult guiding the group and one activity was completely independent.

Here are the photos of the afternoon.
