Image result for collaboration png

Central Idea:

Different approaches to collaboration influence the productivity of groups

The children will be inquiring into:

Shared goals in group situations (connection)

Skills and behaviour that support collaboration (responsibility)

The impact of their behaviour on a shared goal (reflection)

Next week the children will complete a summative assessment to show their learning from Unit 1.

 

                    Next week we will continue our exploration of Shape, symmetry and location.

Central Idea:

Shapes and vocabulary are useful for representing and describing objects in real-world situations

Lines of Inquiry

  • Sort, describe, compare and label regular and irregular two dimensional shapes and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary
  • Construct three-dimensional objects and recognise them in different orientations
  • Identify and draw lines of reflective symmetry in patterns, pictures and shapes

 

 

And if the moon could talk…..

The children continued to make ‘delicious’ sentences and created their own sentences in the style of the author.

Next week the children will write an unaided recount as part of their summative assessment for recount writing.

The children will recount their long weekend.
