Throughout term 3 and this term the children have been investigating an inquiry “What is a story?”“How are stories told?”Each child is working in a project group. Each of the groups has composed a narrative and is working through the process of creating an animation, a book and a dramatic piece of work to tell their story.
A major focus of the process has been working in teams in assigned roles, staying on task and completing structured activities within set timeframes. The children are required to describe their contributions to the team. Opportunities have been created for the children to work with adult experts as much as possible. This process of participating in a wide range of learning experiences which involve a variety of learning styles and approaches to learning is the important part of the inquiry. Questions and wonderings are encouraged, recorded and shared and become the basis for further learning.
On Wednesday 16 November at 6.30pm the children are looking forward to presenting their group projects and learning to their families on stage in the gym. They are very excited to be sharing their learning.
The children have received a parent letter. Could you please return the RSVP slip to the year 2 neighbourhood teachers by Friday 28 October?
Thank you Kevin, Ethan and Rita.
