3 Hook Lesson To introduce our topic of Identity to the children, were invited to a food tasting session. Before tasting the food, each child was given an ipad and a world map and asked to locate the countries their families came from and research any popular food from those regions. Having completed their research they then had an opportunity to eat food samples from different the cultures represented by the families in year 5. As they ate they were encouraged to describe the different textures and flavours they tasted. I really like the sausages because of the spice and flavour.

5 Learning Challenge: Can I explore the word identity? The children explored the concept of identity by thinking about the influences and experiences that have shaped their lives. First we read the poem I am by Mark Beaumont, who broke the round the World cycling record. We also invited in Ethan Clayton s grandad, who spoke to the children about his life journey and the events and people that lead him to become a painter I was surprised he had a lot of jobs before he was an artist. Nazma Ethan s grandad told his life story which was really interesting for me. Jayden

I am I am Peter Clayton I am my mum and dada who taught me how to hold a paintbrush I am my paintbrush that flows across the paper I am the painting that made its own cry with joy I am my secondary school teacher who have me paint and wire to create my first sculpture, I am Van Gogh and Banksy who inspired me, I am Tommy who bought a painting from my first exhibition, I am the butcher who gave me a job when I needed one, I am the colours that bring everything to life I am my first exhibition seven years ago I am Peter Clayton, painter of the universe and I am living my dream.

11 The children were asked to research their origins for homework. Some children went back 4 generations! We then published the information into a family tree. We have over 20 counties representing the origins of the children in our class. I really enjoyed researching my family tree because I got to learn about relatives that I didn t know about.

14 Learning Challenge: Can I find out information and generate questions using a map? First we looked at an 1894 map of Charlton and recorded all the information we could find out about our local area. I think this is where I live, because the name is the same, even though on this map there aren t any buildings. Talha We then started to ask questions about what we wanted to find out. One of the questions asked was, Where on the map would our school be?

To find the exact location of our school on the map, we used a trundle wheel to measure the distance from a site on the map (the rugby club) to the current location of our school.

15 To find the exact location of our school on the map, we used a trundle wheel to measure the distance from a site on the map (the rugby club) to the current location of our school. Back at school we used the scale at the bottom of the map to calculate the distance. We discovered that where Sherington Primary School is now, used to be a large mansion called East Combe.

16 LC- Can I understand the reasons for migration? The children watched documentary film clips about different migration to Britain stories. Using that information, they discussed different types of migration,some of the reasons why people move from their countries of birth and the difficulties and benefits of moving.

17 LC - Can I investigate the diversity of commodities in the local area? The children used the Greenwich street directory from 1894 and ipads to research the types of goods and services that were available in Charlton Village. Each shop only sold one kind of thing, like a fishmonger only sold fish. In the butchers they sold grouse, pheasant, partridge and rabbit. I wonder if butchers sell that now? Ethan Vivaan

21 Our artist focus this term is David Hockney. He is an English painter, printmaker, stage designer and photographer. He is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20 th Century. In the early 1980 s, Hockney began to produce photo collages. This means that Hockney arranged many photos like a patchwork to make one larger image. Creation of these photo collages occurred accidently!

The children used photographs of themselves to create a distorted collage of their faces.

22 Larning Challenge: Can I create a self-portrait joiner picture in the style of David Hockney? The children used photographs of themselves to create a distorted collage of their faces. First they decided whether to cut their photographs into squares or strips. Then they put the cut up pieces back together again, thinking about how to distort the image.

23 How do the collages affect the meaning of the picture? Does a distorted picture of your face change your identity? The distorted picture does not affect my identity because identity is who you are on the inside. Nazma 5F

27 Author Focus: Shaun Tan

28 Shaun Tan s books deal with identity, origins and belonging. I began to imagine a world where this was the only illustrated literature available, where everything was fully explained, clear and functional, including all verbal and visual language, all meaning predefined.

29 The Lost Thing continues to explore a world where people have lost the ability to really see what is around them or to recognise and value something special and extraordinary. What if something playful and absurd suddenly appeared in this world? How would people react?

30 The Hook. The children went on a hunt around the playground to hunt for bottle tops, like the main character in the story does.

31 Learning Challenge: To write our own version of The Lost Thing.
