Well, I decided to be brave this week...... and let the children have another go at project based learning!
The project - our class assembly on Friday 19th October.
The reason - the children need to have the chance to make mistakes, learn from them and put their own stamp on their journey in Year 2.
The benefit - our children will hopefully get better at working with others (collaboration) and will be more successful each time they have the opportunity to control their own learning.
The format of next week's lessons - each child has put themselves into a team, which together are in charge of certain aspects of the assembly preparation.
The children have created a list of jobs their team needs to complete before Friday morning.
My role as a teacher - sit back and not take charge, but instead guide during the planning, preparations and practise!
How do I feel - nervous..... the children will probably prepare a much better assembly than I could!!
I will keep you informed of their journey.........
Our music team!
Our writing team!
Our art team!
Our making team!
Our jokes and dance team!
Our art team decided to paint rainforest pictures ready to show. They got out their own resources.
Our jokes and dance team were seeing if we had any costumes to wear in the dressing up box.
The music team were searching for rainforest songs using the iPads.
Our art team drew pictures to show the different layers of the rainforest.
Please support us.... hopefully the children will remember to advertise our assembly to you this week!
