Designing a Duck Feeder

Today in reading one of our groups designed their own duck feeders based on the book they've been reading, "Bread for the Ducks".

Here they are to tell you about them...

Feedback on our Re-tell

Today Madi, Jim, Isla and Bella re-told their story in their own words.  We recorded it on this video so that we could watch it back and give ourselves feedback.

Here is the video:




We thought we did a good job of:

• Collaborating to re-tell the story
• Collaborating when someone needed help (team work)
• We spoke clearly
• We looked at the person who was talking
• We used with pictures to help us remember it

We thought we could improve on:

• Giving all the information (like, saying they were going to the park)
• We could use one or two words from the story to remind us - but we don't want to read all the words.  "If you look at every page and read all the words, you'll get too slow and tired" - Jim

Break Through 28th February Animal and Art Groups

We looked and found out how to use pastels to create patterns.

Experimented with different designs.

We went to the library to research patterns.

We drew inspiration from animal patterns and used them to create our own.

Social Play and Oracy through drawing

 We drew things that make us happy. What makes you feel happy?

Numeracy

Today for our warm up we ordered numbers to 20.

Then we decorated our cakes on our whiteboards with m&m's and beans. We were leaning how to add two sets of materials together.

Can you remember how many m&m's were on your cake?
