Collaboration in Class 3

25th November 2021Claire Goodyer

In reading crew we have been supporting our friends by praising what they do really well and helping them to develop strategies that will enable them to get even better.

In maths we collaborated to solve problems involving addition and subtraction. We used practical equipment and developed our reasoning and explanation skills with our partners.
This afternoon we had our introduction to our brand new iPads. Our expert visitor taught us how to take photos, view them and delete the ones we didn’t want. We worked in groups supporting each other and critiquing the photographs we shared.
