Day1
Our morning began with Mathematics where
the students reflected on their learning from yesterday. The students became
the teachers where they shared what they knew with one another and asked each
other questions. The students were then given an individual activity where they
explored how a pattern with the same pattern core could be written in different
ways.
After mathematics, the students went to
P.E. with Mr. H. On their return, we read Chapter 2 of Charlotte’s Web (which
is our current novel study book). The students listened attentively and wrote a
list of nouns that they heard in the story. When we had finished reading the
chapter, the students then selected 5 of their nouns to put into sentences of
their own.
We then had first lunch and recess,
followed by UOI. In UOI we read an interesting story called ‘What do you do
with a tail like this?’. The students had to guess the animals the story was
referring to based on the images. I was extremely impressed when two students recognized
one of the animals as a platypus!
As a class we then discussed the
classification of animals. The students then got into groups where they were
each given a specific animal type. In their group they were ask to list as many
animals as they could that belong in the group (eg. for mammals – elephants,
tigers, bear etc.). The students were all able to provide a range of animals for
their given group.
After UOI we had music with Mr. Andrei
followed by an opportunity to catch up
on any unfinished work.
We then had second lunch and recess, and
French with Mlls. Jessica. After French we wrote in our agenda ready for
dismissal.
