Unit of Inquiry - How We Express Ourselves Central Idea: Stories can be shared in many ways
This week we tuned into our central idea of our new unit by looking at the central idea and choosing which words we thought were important. Afterwards we recorded our thoughts about the meanings of the words. We found out the prior knowledge we had by looking our favourite stories and why they are our favourites. Throughout this week and continuing next, we will be reading our favourite stories. Literacy - Reading as a reader This week we investigated what it meant to read a book as a reader! We learned that some of the ways readers read books is to gain information about that book! We can do this by: Questioning: asking questions about anything Inferring: sometimes the authors leave us clues about what is happening in the story without writing them! We can find out lots of information by being detectives and looking for clues to see what the author is trying to tell us. We practised these skills when reading the Gruffalo then we sequenced the story, developed fine motor skills with Gruffalo playdough mats and used natural materials to make houses for the characters of the Gruffalo. Some fun pictures of the children exploring the new areas in the classroom!
