P5 TOPIC: Loch Ness Monster Enquiry

February 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment

P5 have been working on the Loch Ness monster enquiry. We read a newspaper article that a couple called the Smiths were at Loch Ness Beach for the first time. It told us that the Loch Ness monster surfaced and swam to the Smiths but luckily they just got away.

In our topic we have to decide if they actually saw the monster or not.

The Evidence Committee have been sending us emails to help us decide. We have received evidence from the Smiths, pictures and phone calls transcripts.

In our class we were in groups of 3 and we had to pretend that we were Mr & Mrs Smith and a newspaper reporter. We have lately been making a blog in our class about the Loch Ness monster.

We are also reading the Water Horse by Dick King Smith. We think the whole class are enjoying the topic but the best thing is probably the evidence wall.

Some of the skills we have been learning are how to use Flip Video cameras and how to create our own websites and blogs on Edubuzz with lots of information and pictures. We have also been emailing using our Google/Edubuzz accounts.
