Planning for Term 4 - Toys


We started our last planning session with an audit or summary tool of what we had already covered. 
This has our Curriculum Areas and Domains across the top. 
The grey areas are the areas we do not assess against but still need to teach. 
This ensures our kids have the necessary skills when they go up into next year's grade. 

Next step was to look at what we hadn't taught against what we wanted to teach and then see what curriculum areas it addressed. 
The white column that hasn't been coloured at all is PE. 
We have a PE teacher who addresses this for us. Lucky us!


This pages below show the Inquiry Process headings with question prompts. The pile of sticky notes waiting for us to place tasks and assessment on them from what the kids wanted to explore. 

As we are holidays at the moment I haven't yet typed it all up. 
But it will be exciting - I will share when typed.

Here are the sheets with our ideas on them - we also spent time looking at our discovery learning word work, writing tasks and maths planning in detail.  A very fruitful day.


Excursion to Sovereign Hill

What an incredibly hot day! The jury is still out - was it 38 or was it 4o degrees Celsius? This year we have been to Werribee Park Zoo in the extreme cold and now this. But how proud am I of my grade and how they behaved, participated and enjoyed the day. We looked at old toys and got to play with marbles, tops, dolly pegs, washing boards, quoits, slates, puzzles and hobby horses. We panned for gold and found some, looked at a candle being made, where the wheels are made and enjoyed some old fashioned lollies.

Love that writing

We are looking at Toys and Teddies and we have been discussing what makes a great toy. How great is this writing for Prep - first year at school and some sophisticated sentences and great punctuation happening. I love the planning pictures and the supporting text.









Toys and Teddies and e5


Here is my unit on Toys and Teddies.

It is suitable for K-2 and has many tasks that can be differentiated for your students.

This is perfect in leading up to a Teddy Bear Picnic and Teddy Bear study.

It is based on e5 and enables students to record their learning as they work through the five components of e5.
