Learning Observed

Helen, Norah, Charlotte and Vivian chose to complete an iExplore where they could make something to show their learning. When we began this, it was near to Chinese New Year and the girls opted to use this as their topic of curiosity. They were particularly fascinated with the Chinese Lanterns. To begin with, they needed to ask questions about how the Chinese New Year and Chinese Lanterns were connected. To do this, they focused mostly on using the 5W’s and 1H. After doing some background research, Helen, Norah, Charlotte and Vivian had to collaboratively agree on a method and set of materials that they would use. Finally, they made their lanterns according to their research and ideas, and added their own creativity too.
