A Day of Discovery

We started our Friday morning in an integrated way with lots of different tasks being undertaken. Some children decided to develop their comprehension by playing games, some worked on their speedy numeracy skills, others did some drawing and crafts. We loved picking our tasks and deciding when we did them.

As we had so much fun this morning we decided to continue this discovery and equity approach through the day. We learned some new skills during writing time and then chose how we wanted to apply them. Some people created blackout poems, others created stories and some chose to write letters and diary entries. We had to come up with our own success criteria depending on the type of text that we were creating.  We will show some of the finished pieces later on.

Here are some pictures of us working on our writing. Of course we used technology to help us!
