Year 5 were given the challenge three weeks ago to create a project of their own design on someone in the recent past who has made a significant change to our world. This is a direct link to the topic we are studying this term which involves us studying the life of MLK Junior and the amazing battle he fought for racial equality.
Year 5 were able to use PowerPoint, drama, models, speech alone, literally anything they felt worked to support their presentation. And wow, they did! We had costumes, models, games, quizzes with prizes and some absolutely fascinating facts.
The children all worked incredibly hard to speak selectively and clearly on why their chosen person had made a difference to our world. The presentations ranged from Ruben Carter, to Nick Vujicic, to Marie Curie, to David Attenborough, to Donald Trump – to name a few!
We all learnt a huge amount about these people but also about how to present in front of an audience with clear, slow enunciation!
