We cold wrote our myth, followed by drawing and describing the setting and the characters, composing Alan Peat sentences, writing our myth again, editing and marking against "What Makes This Good" with self, peer and teacher assessment.
Here is an extract from Christabel's myth which is called "Belle and the Blaze....
We read the book "The Taff in the Waff" and looked at using our mathematical skills to solve different codes such as "Pig Ciphers." We were such Ethical Efan's!
We were so inspired by the book that we wanted to do our own propaganda posters for a variety of jobs for women in WW2. We are such"Creative Cariad's!"
We did a variety of maths questions based on mining - it was so much fun!
Solving a variety of mixed mining maths problems
The aftermath of the miners' strikes - we worked together in groups to answer lots of questions and gained a better understanding of the devastating effect on the miners.
We had lots of newspaper extracts to read from all over Britain
There wasn't much to read but it gave us so much information.
Roxi loved working as a group
Fletcher said "I can't believe how much it effected the WHOLE commununity"
Evan wrote a fabulous diary in the style of an early miner. Another great example of being an "Ethical Efan"
