The students did a \u2018Then.. Now\u2019 flow diagram explaining climate change in these videos. They learnt the difference between weather and climate by looking at anchor charts and watching videos. As a whole class activity, students unpacked the central idea \u2018Human actions impact climate change\u2019 on a jamboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Please see below a sample of students initial thinking about climate change;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-284791 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2650\" height=\"1392\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet.png 2650w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet-1280x672.png 1280w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet-980x515.png 980w, https:\/\/abisoman.com\/broadcaster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2023\/02\/G6-Climate-Change-Padlet-480x252.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2650px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2650\/1392;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students completed a survey on \u2018migration\u2019 by filling out a Google Form in which they expressed their understanding of push &amp; pull factors, migration patterns and the impacts of migration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students also completed compiling Google Slides together with the biography of a famous immigrant they had chosen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How you can help at home:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are able to discuss this with your children at home sharing stories about how climate is changing or watch news or documentaries about climate change together (such as David Attenborough\u2019s Blue Planet, Climate Change &#8211; Britain Under Threat, The Future of our Frozen World or Zac Efron\u2019s Down to Earth). These conversations would help students develop curiosity and make connections with the real world issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Maths:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students continued to complete maths maintenance based on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They also learnt to identify and mark coordinates on a grid. Students completed a timed basic facts assessment. It was great to see the progress they have made. We look forward to sharing the results of this during Student Led Conferences (SLC\u2019s) coming up in March. Please see below for a picture of some of our math maintenance questions from this week.
