Analysing data in Expedition!

By Miss Blackham25th January 2021

Today in Expedition, we have been looking at how many mining collieries there were in Doncaster and when they opened/closed. Many children were shocked to find that Hatfield main only closed in 2015! The children had lots of questions when presented with the data such as why were so many mines opened in 1911 and why some mines were combined- you can see more questions on our Jamboard above The children then went to find out which mine had been opened for the shortest period of time in Doncaster.

Ask your children which were the longest and shortest standing mines in Doncaster!

Super summarises!

By Miss Blackham19th January 2021

Year 6 have been busy this morning- summarising the first chapter of our anchor text! The children are well and truly hooked in and they were gutted we stopped at chapter one. We had the challenge of summarising the chapter in the fewest possible words. We then critiqued our work on Jamboard. I am so impressed with how hard you have all been working on this activity! I can’t wait to read on tomorrow!
