Thinking Skills - What makes a good discussion?

We've been looking at what makes a good discussion in class today. We used a technique call 'Diamond Ranking'. We had to discuss the suggestions for what makes a good discussion and then rank them in a diamond shape. We all had different diamonds but everyone was able to explain why they had ordered them in such a way. Here's our final diamonds.

Blitz - Propaganda Posters

We've been learning about the use of propaganda posters in World War 2. We discussed why they were used and what messages they sent. Following our discussions we made our own propaganda posters.

Friend or Foe - Comprehension

We got into the role of the main characters of the story, we had to empathise with them and reinacted one the main scenes. This is the scene where David and Tucky, who are evacuees, are the last two children left in the village hall. Regan is playing the part of Tucky, and Harvey is plying the part of David. The rest of the class are pretending to be the adults whispering about them.
