We were using our ‘Collaborating Cora’ meta-skill today, working as a group to take turns within a group to complete a task.
We used our reading books and became detectives today we were looking for:
– Common words, words which include diagraphs and words including the letter ‘t’.
Pupil Voice:
‘I found ‘are’ on page 4 if you look next to the word Dad you will see it.’
‘My group found lots of ‘oa’ diagraph words ‘toad, load goat!’
Our topic is Lerwick, pupils asked to learn about the buildings in Lerwick. Today we spoke about the Town Hall, its uses and how/when it was build and made models using pasta and playdoh. We were focusing on the meta-skill of collaborating and added our learning to our IDL working wall. Pupil comments:
‘if we make a square then it will make it stronger when we add walls’
‘you hold this part and I will hold this side and she can get the roof on, the roof is a triangle!’
‘My parents got married at the town hall upstairs!’
Meta-skill Link – listening to and valuing other people’s opinions and developing language of collaborative learning.
