Discovery Time

This week the students in Kakano 2 are discovering the wonders of space. I captured them reading independently, a range of texts, with the idea of finding interesting facts and writing these onto 'fact cards' to put up on the wall. They were also making constellations and telescopes. There were also children writing stories about space, taking part in their guided reading group with a teacher as well as a number of other learning experiences about space. 

There was so much to celebrate about the learning that was on display today but one thing that I enjoyed observing was the confidence of the students who were reading quite challenging texts and the reading strategies that they could apply when challenged with difficult vocabulary.
