To help support this learning, they have been working in groups to create volcanoes, earthquake resistant houses, movies, posters, podcasts, comic books, video and audio messages as well as composing their own music and songs.
Where possible the results of P7a fabulous work have been posted onto the Internet for others to enjoy. Use the links below to enjoy.
Movies about the Structure of the Earth
This is P7a premiere movie.
Structures of the Earth - Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ul6kYjBWd8
Structures of the Earth - Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc1aNIoJ6NQ
(Note due to a maximum length of 10 minutes for a video in YouTube, the video has been divided into two sections).
The pupils created movies (via iMovie) based on the theme of Earthquakes and Volcanoes, (using pictures from Google Images, which we gratefully acknowledge) they then composed accompanying music in GarageBand. The final movies were then merged to create a class movie.
Exploding Volcanoes
The pupils const
ructed 3D volcano models for homework. The models were labelled to show the features of a volcano.You can see some of our volcanoes at http://picasaweb.google.com/buckstonep7a/Public_volcanoes#
We really enjoyed exploding some of them on the last day of term in the snow.
Dynamic Earth Feedback
The pupils were very fortunate to be able to visit Dynamic Earth on the 25th Novem
ber. They greatly enjoyed the experience providing the opportunity to expand their knowledge about the Structures of the Earth in a fabulous learning environment. The children were tasked with finding different ways to feedback to Dynamic Earth about their visit, with a key focus on the information we wanted to feedb
ack. These photographs capture many of the ideas.Feedback Podcast
