Today we began to create some visual pictures as a writing prompt for our story. We began by talking about what would happen if we really shrunk the class, I loved the way the classroom exploded into noise as they talked through their ideas. I used these images to get the children thinking about what would it look like to be tiny, it really helped set the scene for the next part of their learning. They loved the contrast of images, especially the person rock climbing on the donut!
After that the children went off and took photo's of each other in different poses. We did talk about making sure we could see their face and they had interesting expression on their face. I soon realised I also needed to say they should take a full body shot, otherwise their Pizap picture would be missing their legs or arms...there was a few "re-do" pictures. But the children loved the activity, they were hanging off the rugby goal post, climbing the playground and jumping off the sandpit wall. Tomorrow we will need to put the picture together in Pizap and think about what each person would be thinking or saying. This will begin to add the writing component as we will look at speech bubbles and speech marks. Also starting to think about how they would solve this problem....

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
