Unit of Inquiry and Literacy Over the last couple weeks the students have been making their own fractured fairy tales based on the story of The Three Little Pigs! This week they planned and prepared how they want to tell the story, after inquiring into "How stories are told." We looked at the many ways to tell stories such as through puppets, Kamishibai cards, books, miming and using toys! They all chose how they want to tell their story and have been working hard on creating it. Exploring ways of telling stories Creating their fractured fairytales Wake up! Shake up! This week we tuned into Wake up! Shake up! by Singapore Repertory Theatre. This fun virtual session led by professionals had our students doing activities relating to drama, song and dance. We heard various stories that we recognised from class, learned how to mime and dance from different cultures. Students made connections to our central idea that "Stories can be shared in many ways." Mathematics This week we continued to dive deeper into various strategies we can use to help us subtract such as using our fingers, drawing pictures, counting backwards and using a number line! We also had some fun playing subtraction bowling. We also explored ways to measure time! We learned that seconds, minutes and hours can be measured on clocks. While we use calendars for days, weeks, months and years. We explored how long is a second and a minute and recorded our ideas. Later in the week we read "The Very Grouchy Ladybug" by Eric Carle and tracked his day using our clocks. This helped us to understand that one full circle of the clock for the minute hand makes 1 hour!
