Year 6 have been exploring variation in their science lessons. The pupils have been looking closely at the animal kingdom and in particular the different subcategories of the vertebrate group. They put their research skills to the test and used both traditional and digital resources to find as much information as possible on a fish, reptiles, birds, mammals and amphibians.
Read on and see one of the books that was created…
Research covered areas such as diet, description, habitats, adaptation, predators, prey, interesting and unusual facts.
Once this information had been assembled the students used the Story Creator App on the iPad to present their research. The students explored the App and inserted relevant illustrations, subheadings, text fonts and sizes, recordings and videos.
Year 6 agreed that this was a fantastic way to present non-fiction material. They enjoyed reading and evaluating everybody’s work and did a wonderful job presenting them to our target Key Stage 2 audience.
