Independent Learning Time

During Independent Learning Time the children have been working very hard. This week they could choose; Writing, Maths Menu, Inquiry and Reading. They were also required to attend a Maths workshop. Here is a sample of their learning.

 Working on our Inquiry project by making a Power Point presentation about how the Taco Track supports the local community. 

 Maths Menu time. This task is tricky but with persistence can be completed!

 Julie teaching a compulsory Maths workshop about number patters.  

 One hour of focused writing time.

 Finding a quiet place to read. 

Practicing a performance for the 'Faces of Brunswick' project. 

 Checking over the answers from a local gardener. 

 Writing creative and thoughtful stories. 

 Chilling out in reading time. 

Maths conferences with Katie. Making very detailed patterns. 

Some of the children's thoughts:

Eleanor - I do writing first because it gets my brain ready to do good things in the day. 

Matilda - I did Maths Workshop last and worked with Julie. We learnt about clocks and used them to skip count. 

Jonah - In ILT I did reading, then maths, then writing and last inquiry. 

Grace - In ILT I felt really happy because something good happened, I got the answers to my questions typed. I had been worrying about it for a few days. 

Angus - In ILT I read a chapter of my book of magic and the chapter was about how someone broke into a castle and the king and queen died. 

Veronica - In ILT I did some inquiry with Mia and Anya and we think we finished it!

Oscar - In ILT I did Maths Menu and it was good because it started hard and then got easy. 

Jeffrey - I loved doing inquiry because it is fun.

Jaida - I like ILT because you get to choose what you do and when you learn best. 

Olivier - In ILT I get to learn new things, especially Maths. 

Lola - I like ILT because you get to do different things in your own order. 

Noah - It is good because you can pick what to do. I like to do writing the best.
