PPR children investigated the causes and effects of drought, as well as how we can save water to cope with a water shortage. We read non-fiction texts about drought and then responded by drawing with pastels and colour-wash paints. ......and tea bags! These photos show us creating scenes of what we think a drought would look like.
In maths we used our knowledge of the effects of drought to solve problems. If there were only 2 ponds of water left and lots of animals, how could we share the ponds evenly between the animals? We used strategies such as : making a model, drawing a picture and using our previous knowledge of numbers to solve 'shared between' problems. Then we learnt how to show our solution as a number sentence using the divided by sign. You can see us sharing the animals between the ponds in the photos.
