As part of our learning around Malala, we have read the book 'Malala's Magic Pencil'. We thought about what we would do if we had our own magic pencil.
During the computing element of our learning, we have been learning to use Canva to create advertisements. We created advertisements for the community centres that we designed in a previous lesson.
As part of our learning around communities and equalities, we have been learning about Malala. We read the story 'Malala's Magic Pencil' and did our own research about Malala. We created these facts files to show our learning.
As part of our learning around our own community, we considered as a class what we do for people in our own community. We considered people from all walks of life and reflected on what more we could do.
Before going on Community Participation, we did our own research about the town of Dartford and the places we are going. We developed these into our own Google Slides to present our work to each other.
Whilst learning about reading OS maps, we linked this to our community participation and our lines of inquiry. We used an OS map to plan a route into dartford from the school.
Whilst learning about Yayoi Kusama, we create our own artwork inspired by her and her dots. This allowed us to understand her connection with the dots and in her view that everyone in the world is a dot.
