Learning Observed

As a follow up reading activity Jenny, Jeffa, Ella and Evie recreated Jenny’s reading book ‘My Things’. During reading Jenny was able to use the pictures and letters to help identify unknown words. Together, Jeffa, Jenny, Evie, and Ella decided on a title that would fit the subject ‘Our Stuff’ and each learner made one statement and pointed to that on their person. Jenny was able to retell the story and provided ideas for items we could use to tell our own version of the story.
