Talking about the seaside

The children were very excited today to talk about the seaside. Evanas and Harper followed up the conversation with drawing and writing.

They got our postcards today for working hard. Well done.

Dream Clouds, Job Inspiration and Money Management for 3G

This week, we have been thinking about our future and what we will need to live the lives we dream of. We created ‘Dream Clouds’ filled with the homes, holiday and items of our dreams, if money were no object. Then we were given a job. There were all different careers , from professional footballer to nurse, computer animator to teacher! After finding out more about our job, we then created a reality cloud – we could not spend more money each month than we were earning.

The work challenged the children to think about what is a ‘need’ and what is a ‘want’ and it was interesting to compare how the children found the task according to their job.

I was so proud of the work and contribution everyone made to the tasks and the skills the children had to use to calculate the monthly expenses. Their discussion at the end of the day was very reflective and showed how seriously they had taken the activities.

We are crew

As part of academic crew today we were learning about working together on our learning and how we need to take turns and help each other. This is really important when we share books and read words together and it was something that we agreed that we need to get better at.

We made a web, taking turns and rolling the string to each other as we thought about what team work means.

What are the buildings like in Africa?

This week we are focussing on life in another area of the world and we are focussing on the continent of Africa. Today the children looked at pictures of houses in different countries and compared them. Some of the houses were the same as our houses but some were different.
