First Post of 2015

It has taken me longer than I thought to get around to uploading all of the things we want to share with you from Room 9 but here is 'the best of collection' from Term 1 so far.

Our learning focus this term centres around learning to look closely and notice patterns, similarities and differences and to ask questions or wonder about the things that we notice. We have investigated the power of observation through a statistical investigation into looking closely.

We wondered if looking closely would help us notice more. We had to try to identify our own eye, mouth and hand in a line up of photos of all of the eyes, mouths and hands in the class. We presented our data on how many people were right or not on tally charts and as pictographs.

Then we made careful observations of our eyes, mouth and hands and wrote about these in our learning journals.

Then we tried to identify our own body parts again. Did we improve- yes. So we think we can say that for our class, looking carefully does make us notice more.
