To tie in with Book Week, this week the children were shown a page from a book called Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. The children spoke about what they could see, what they thought, and what they wondered. This See, Think, Wonder thinking routine helps to engage students and encourages deeper thinking and higher order questioning. After this, the children constructed a coconut tree with the following criteria: each tree could only use 2 sheets of newspaper, it had to stand on its own and it had to be able to hold some letters, just like the book. Afterwards, the children reflected upon what they found challenging, how they overcame these challenges and what worked for them. Take a look at their coconut trees below.
