Social Studies in P6

As we complete our Social Studies context on Natural Disasters this seemed a good opportunity to share some of our displays and the fantastic work we did across the curriculum linking to this particular topic. We linked our Literacy by creating a diary entry where we used the features of the genre. We worked on our up scaled vocabulary choices so the reader could really imagine being immersed in our chosen disaster! We also wrote explanations, describing how and why different disasters happen.

As you can see we also linked our learning to our ICT outcomes by creating a PowerPoint at the start of our context highlighting what we already knew about Natural Disasters and how we would like to take our learning forward, putting the class at the centre of their learning and demonstrating pupil agency, ownership of the context. Finally, we also looked at our outcomes for Art when completing pencil drawings of a particular disaster, paying particular attention to detail.

As well as linking different curriculum outcomes to our context we were also always mindful to remember our skillset, highlighting which ones linked most closely to a particular task.
