What Was Life Like as a Child Underground?
I would like you to research life as a child in Welsh mining communities. Did they work underground? If so what jobs did they have? Write a report explaining how the lived and felt within their homes and community. If they did not work what would they do? Did they have to help around the home? What games did they play? Would you like to have lived back then? Explain your answers in details. Below is a checklist for report writing to help you remember what should be included.
•Write a title to say what you are writing about
•Write an introduction that defines the subject or make a statement that interests or intrigues the reader so they want to read on.
•Organise work in paragraphs starting with a topic sentence. You could also use a sub-heading to divide up your work.
•Write paragraphs in a sensible order e.g. when talking about and animal write about it’s appearance first.
•Draw diagrams, charts or fact boxes. These give clear information
•Write a conclusion to draw writing to an end and add a glossary if necessary.
Write in Present Tense.
Write in Third Person (he, she, it, they)
Remember Year 6, you are VIPs and you can present your work in your learning logs in any way you wish as long as you follow the checklist and success criteria.
I cant wait to see what wonderful facts you discover. There is lots of space on our topic wall for well presented pieces of work. Will yours be on of the pieces put up? I hope so!
