Check us out!

Over the past two weeks we have been inquiring into our personal histories. We have been learning a lot about each other and sharing many of our memories. Mr Jon has been working with us on asking the right questions. We learnt that 'thin' questions only give us a small amount of information or a yes/no answer. Whereas 'thick' questions give us a story and lots of information. We have been working hard on coming up with questions about ourselves and this week the children will be asking their parents for the answers to these questions. 



For the children to really know what they are learning about we looked at what history means and what change is. We spent time brainstorming these concepts and also sorting and ordering photos and various items. We had lots of great discussions, however, I did start to feel really old when all the children thought a record was a cd or dvd and most of them didn't know what a cassette tape was!

Here were are sorting our photos in different ways:

Exploring various items and putting them in order from oldest to newest:




Gymnastics has been a highlight for the children at PE and I promised to upload photos of all the awesome things they have been doing with Mr Andy and Mr Will.

We have been learning all about time during Maths and one of our favourite ways to tell the time is to play what's the time Mr Wolf!

We have also been working with stopwatches and had such a great time on Friday timing each other doing various activities. Working with time can be lots of fun :-)
