It's been a few days and we have been busy getting ourselves ready to create our story. We sat around and planned out the story together, discussing different situations and how the shrink machine was activated. As we spent time talking about the story, you could see the children's imagination starting to take off! It was a good opportunity to show the class around the structure a narrative, using the model of a Seven Sentence Story. We had fun acting out different scenarios to add to our story board. Fingers crossed all this creative input will result in some cool writing. One thing I am learning is to make sure I don't rush through the process, I am good at the inspiration, but I do tend to rush the class through their thinking. I need to make sure they have enough time to reflect on their thinking before moving onto the next task. Then today we spent a lesson doing some directed teaching around speech marks. We used one of the photos a group created to write a conversation between the children in the picture. They were so engaged in this task, that I didn't move onto making a picture story board like I was planning... I'm learning :)

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
