Unit of Inquiry - What is a fairy tale? We all know our favourite fairy tales, from Cinderella to The Three Little Pigs. But what makes a fairy tale, a fairy tale? First we looked at Fairy Tales from the concept of form. We learned that fairy tales have: - Good Characters & Evil Characters - A Setting - Magic - Problems & Solutions After, we sorted characters, settings and magic props that we commonly found in fairy tales and stories. While reading the fairy tales, we realised we have some stick puppets/felt puppets with the characters and settings of the fairy tales! This is a way to share/tell a story! Our first line of inquiry is: how stories are told. We learned they can be told in a book, but they can also be told in different ways, such as through puppets! We took action to make a puppet theatre for our class! A puppet theatre was made for us, and we started painting it ourselves this week. Literacy This week we started introducing Literacy Choice Time. We have been practising these skills all year. Now we are ready to independently choose to work on them during this time! We get to choose to independently work on our writing or independently completing word work activities. Next week we'll introduce Reading Routines to our choice. Math As we continue to develop our Data Handling skills, we also are continuously developing our numeracy and number skills! This week we reviewed the many ways to add and combine numbers, focusing on using a number line as a strategy. We made our own interactive number line and used this to practice adding numbers.
