J5 and J6 started generating quesions today for thei geographical enquiry. We discussed the fieldwork that we did in Cardiff Bay last week and decided on some lines of enquiry from the fieldwork.
We ended up discussing land use and the various uses of buildings and land at the Bay. The children took part in a carousel activity around the hall whereby they rotated using the 5W's as questions.
WHY? WHERE? WHEN?WHO? WHAT? were the starters for the children.
After the carousel activity, the children had to try and evaluate the questions that had been written on each sheet.
The task was extremely difficult as many of the questions generated at first didn't have any relevance to land use itself. E.g. When was the Norwegian Church built? This is an interesting question if we were undertaking an historical enquiry, yet doesn't lend itself to a geographical one. Therefore a lot of discussion an dcommunication took place to decide which questions were really relevant.
The large pieces of paper show the questions written on the carousel activity and the smaller pieces are the best two questions that each group chose relating to the enquiry of land use.
Both classes enjoyed the activity and were certainly challenged to come up with the questions.
Da iawn blwyddyn 5, we will be investiagting land use further next week in a practical way.

I really liked the art when we done the overlapping like Ogwyn Davies and I was really far behind and I managed to catch up and with the Norweigan church I had problems because I dont like cutting. And the sequens was pretty easy aswell. and the coluring in the letters was really tiring and rock solid. And I done 1 part in the middle I overlapped a little to much Have a nice weekend FROM CAMERON
