I have been totally overwhelmed by this little group! Today, we were introduced to our Roman topics which we will take ownership over for the creation of our final product for this expedition and my goodness are they brilliant!
First, we discussed the vocabulary to make sure we all understood the topic and what was needed to cover it fully. This meant the children realised we might have to include a definition in our introduction so that other children understand what it means too!
Then, we took to the books and put on our historian hats! Looking through and post-it noting the pages which ‘fitted’ or linked with our understanding of the topic. From here we shared and agreed on several sub headings so we all had a part to play and a section to write.
Once decided, we swapped our hats and pretended to be web designers! Each of us thought carefully about websites we use and have seen, what we like etc and used these ideas to create our own vision of what our webpage would look like for other children – asking questions like – is it clear, easy to use and child friendly? Each child shared their ideas and we created an idea together of how it might look visually.
The final step of today was to pull all this together and create our opening introduction paragraph for our first page! It’s safe to say it’s fantastic and the understanding and vocabulary that was used blew me away! I’ll share the first paragraph but nothing more yet!
Well done cocoon I love working with you and love the work you have created together today!
Oh I bet lex loved this. She’s always pointing out facts and telling me facts she knows about things she has an interest in.
