An action filled, busy day with our poet. Children responded well to skipping and clapping rhymes on the playground, and then the hopscotch word play afterwards. Some great collaboration between pairs and small groups, exchanging ideas and sharing their work.
Was great to be able to record some of the children on camera and on video/audio recordings - will be able to build on that skill as the project progresses. Will be great for the children to take responsibility for more of that and maybe for some older pupils to contribute their skills as well.
'I like messing about with words and changing the order.'
'Poetry is my favourite subject now!'
Reflection book is set up and ready so tomorrow the children can begin to add ideas, thoughts, comments, photos and captions to it and we can build up a picture of our experience and learning together. (Different coloured paper and simple ways of mounting eg. ripping edges of paper to create interesting effects).
I think I will put some questions and sentence starters with the book to encourage different kinds of reflection...What are you learning? What do you like about working outside/about this project? Have you discovered any new ways of learning and working? Today I have learnt...I think that...Poetry is...Alice is helping me to...In my journal I like to...I want to get better at...
Definitely a team work approach between Alice and myself; she brings many of the ideas but we structure the session together and both ask questions to help the children reflect on their experience at the end of the sessions. Freedom to be creative but within a structure...
