How to be an Effective Communicator

Image
This week the children have been thinking about speaking and listening in small group and class situations. They have discussed the need to look at the person who is talking. They have practiced using different voices - louder when talking to the whole class and quieter when talking to a partner. As part of our Topic we have looked at toys made from different materials. The children have talked to a partner about how to sort the toys into two groups. They then worked as a class to create the two groups and write labels for them.

Royal Thai Air Force Museum

We met some real pilots and they talked to us ab...

Some children put themselves into order from the tallest to the shortest. We measured one another using centimetres. Some children solved problems by identifying the longest lines and then used a ruler to draw a shorter line. Some children used play dough to make longer and shorter snakes. They then used cubes to measure how long each snake was. Some children were able to solve a word problem: Two children make a tower each. They share 20 cubes between them. Child 1 makes a tower that is tallest. How tall could each tower be? In English we are reading the story 'We All Went on Safari'. We have been thinking about the different animals we might see. The children worked with a partner to write descriptions of different animals. ...
