4Ri visit the Senior Library

Year 4 learning about the Dewey Classification System

Mr Batstone brought 4Ri along to the Senior Library to learn all about the Dewey Decimal Classification System. The pupils used Dewey Detective worksheets to help them understand how the non-fiction books are arranged. Once they had filled in their detective sheets, pupils then worked in pairs looking at one particular section of non-fiction. After gathering the information, they then worked on the computers to produce a word cloud containing all of the subjects they found within their area. These word clouds, shaped in the number of the Dewey Section, will be used in the Junior Library to help signpost specific subject areas.
