Spring 2 - Where will my travels take me?
Within our school, we want our children to know:
- That the UK consists of varied and contrasting habitats
- That the UK is just one of many countries, and these other countries contrast with the UK
- That all countries have features which make them special
- That explorers travel to find out more about the world
We had a theatre company in to "hook" us into our new enquiry
We made Chinese noodle soup. It was delicious!
We found out about polar regions and followed instructions to make polar bear sandwiches
Authentic outcome
At the end of the enquiry, the children's authentic outcome was to create a travel video about one of the places they had studied. The children selected China. Every child participated in green screen filming. Each group chose what they wanted to say or bring with them to filming, they participated in choosing their replaced background, and they as a group helped to select the audio.
We recorded in front of a green screen like this!
After we had completed the half-term, children were shown some visual reminders and asked to recall what they had learnt and to apply that to answer the question. Their responses were drawn together into the following visual reminder for the children.
