How can we learn without writing?

Today in Year 5 we celebrated 'No Pens Day' highlighting to the us how many amazing ways there are to learn without writing ALL day. Our English lesson involved a warm up of Kung Fu punctuation, followed by us creating a verbal recount in groups of our trip to Sea City, on Monday. We had a success criteria to include time conjunctions, adjectives and to punctuate our sentences correctly using Kung Fu punctuation.

Our Maths lesson involved a Tangram problem solving challenge, creating the 7 pieces of a Tangram then using them to create the letters in our names.

We also read our reading books to each other in pairs and discussed several questions, to help us develop our understanding of the text. Finally, we learnt about the sinking events of the Titanic and created photo scenes of each stage that we are going to use next topic session to create a visual timeline of the sinking events.

What an action packed day and not a pen or pencil was lifted! Have a look at our photos to see all the activities we got up to!
