Strategy Used / Strategaeth a Ddefnyddiwyd

• Odd One Out – 3 pics (Topics: Solids and Liquids)
• Thinking Skills – (3 N's etc Odd One Out)
• KWL Chart – Tudor Times (Poor People)

Description of Activity / Disgrifiad o'r Weithgaredd

New topic intro – Solids and Liquids.  In groups children given 3 pictures.  Chatted about each picture in turn, decidedif there were any odd ones out and why. 

Again 3 no's for Thinking Skills lesson – were any n's odd ones out and why, using key vocab – e.g. one/two digit, even, odd, multiple of 2, 5, 10 etc.

KWL Chart – what do they know about the poor in Tudor Times?

Evaluation / Gwerthusiad

All three activities worked really well!  Children were able to think for themselves and suggest their own ideas far more independently rather than "teacher-fed". 

Also enabled children to use vocabulary correctly and far more children became confident in using these terms and remember what they mean.
