We have begun our final term in K1. The children enjoyed sharing their adventures of the holidays but were also very excited to see each other. This week we welcomed a new student to the class and worked together to remind each other of classroom expectations and following the 4 Bees - Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe and Be Honester, to help everyone to be happy and to learn at school. All of the K1s demonstrated how caring they were to help each other settle back into the school routines. We also introduced our new Unit of Inquiry - How We Express Ourselves. Our Central Idea is ‘stories are interpreted in many ways’ and we first of all shared our understanding of what a story is. Here are some of the children’s initial ideas:
The classroom has been set up with different provocations about stores and the children have had fun exploring them. We started to explore the first line of inquiry how stories are told by exploring the story We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen in many different ways. We read the book, acted it out, told it through puppets, sequenced some cards, made sensory pictures, told it through music and finally watched the movie. They were surprised to find out that there were so many different ways to tell a story!
