This week we started our new Unit and we began with a short discussion about what we know about NATURE- what is iss, where it is and what are natural things.
Just sharing initial ideas helps students to focus on the new concept. Then, hearing friends say things can give others confidence to speak up. It also helps clarify the concept for others. I was very pleased that we had many ideas and highlighted how much they can teach each other.
Then. with clipboards and sheets, we went outside to explore, observe, record by drawing or writing. The students were very enthusiastic and interested, saw many things and we did detailed record sheets. (Please go to Seesaw for these!)
Back in class, we talk, think and then sort natural and human-made items, using real objects, pictures and an interactive game to check what we have learnt and understood.
Super first week back, looking forward to the next learning steps!
Kind regards
