Non-Chronological Report Shared Write Year 5

(0)
This Year 5 Non-Chronological Report Activity was designed around the theme of Space. As a class we revisited the key features of non-chronological reports, and decided which features would make it onto our success criteria (page 2). This was done using the Hexagonal Thinking grid on the IWB (page 3). Learners then worked in pairs to create their own planets and discuss what details they should include in their non-chronological reports, using the hexagonal thinking grids (page 4). Finally, the non-chronological report was planned using page 1 and 2 of the planning document.

Interactive Space Display

Interactive Space Display

(0)
This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’ Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse. Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt). Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets. Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7. Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’ Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
