Week 4 - Maintenance/Extention

Maintenance

Today we re capped connecting and saving to the server.  Some of the children were new to this so the others in the group used their skills to teach them how to do this.  It was great to see them interacting and sharing their knowledge with each other.  The children felt success as they taught others to connect and save using the server.

Extention:

Today the Year 3 and 4s began their extention groups.

Year 3: We discussed landmarks in Auckland and NZ.  I explained to the children what our outcome will be.  We are going to produce a brochure about Auckland landmarks.  We looked at a variety of brochures to see what we would require in ours.  We decided that ours would need:

-titles
-colour
-words
-information
-pictures
-maps
-diagrams

for it to be successful.

Then with our partner and using the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, HOW questions we decided on a landmark and prepared questions to investigate.  We used Kid Pix to do our brainstorm of questions.
