We now have GREAT story characters in Year 3 - lots of great ideas and effort - well done them! I started by going over the characters from yesterday - used the visualiser - and talked about if characters were believable or not...in relation to the setting of the woods. I had prepared a ppt and made up a few names. We quickly brainstormed the names to try to work out what a character with this name might be like....I agreed that they could steal a name idea from me if they wanted to.
Most had already agreed that their first character might not really fit into the woods!..Success!! I had made a different kind of character profile sheet and this worked much better for them so a learn for me re this class.
We started to learn how to use the grid method for multiplication and again, lots of effort and more practice will improve things. We had one of those disjointed reading sessions where everybody seems to knock on your door and need something....and then we had a science afternoon where they planned - in pairs - an investigation into how they could test the strength of various magnets...
Yesterdays ICT session about making a PPT Advent calendar for KS1 went down well. I'd prepared a folder of Xmas like photos, some animated (animated snow was particularly popular..) and targeted a few children to learn a new ppt skill. They really enjoyed being taught, and then being teachers to pass on their new skill of layers within ppt.
Tomorrow is more grid method, plots, circle time and preparing troll info for databases on Friday!
