We didn't quite finish our mahi in our first session, so I decided to give the children a good chunk of time to complete there work properly. It's hard because a part of me is questioning spending all this time of the prompts...shouldn't I be writing more.... they are not writing....will this actually make a difference to their writing....what am I actually teaching? But I'm sticking to my guns and pushing forward, I know that actually to make this process actually work, I need to repeat it a few time so the children learn from their mistakes. Trust the process and see the big picture. The kids are super happy, love what they are doing so I'm hoping that will show in their writing. In saying that, I have a few that I don't think see the purpose of this, so that's why I need to repeat it.
Anyway, the end product was so cool... something I have never done before. I do need to plan in time for the children to share their learning and find ways to keep better tabs on each piece of work.

Trudi FausettLearning in my space is now all about what the children can create with the new knowledge they have learnt. It’s about using all the tools available to showcase their understanding to a much wider audience. I find it so inspiring that I can connect children’s learning with their own unique creativity in so many more ways. Archives
