The Adventures of 1/2S

Today we started researching animals so we can write our own Information Reports. The children have chosen their own animal to learn about. We are working in groups across the Grade One and Two classes.

Great excitement today when we arrived at school to be greeted by 8 chicks that had hatched. So overnight we had 7 arrive.

We came back 3 hours later and the first chicken had arrived. So all of 1/2S predictions were incorrect. It arrived a lot earlier than any of us thought!!!!

Yesterday we had some eggs arrive at school. Today we had a look at the ten eggs and predicted when the first chicken would hatch….

Each day we have been answering a ” wondering”.
The children write their thoughts on a sticky note and post them on the wall. Each day we collect them and discuss what we think.
We are in the process of coming up with a definition of Living and then Non-Living based on their wonderings and discussion afterwards. Sometimes the children have come back the next day with more information after discussions at home.
Here are some we have done

Today we have been looking at animals and finding out some interesting facts about them. We used an IPad and some animal cards to find the information. We had to draw the picture of the animal as well.
Now we are going to present the information we have learnt on the computer. Stay tuned…
