Each day for the last couple of weeks, we have been responding to a question on the wall in our classroom.
'How interested are you in...?'
The topics change and we put our name on the concentric circles display where we feel it belongs. The centre of the display represents 'very interested', with names placed towards the outside telling us that those people are less interested in the topic. We have one rule - Don't judge.
The reason for this was to provide an interesting discussion point for when we enter the classroom each morning. It also links with our inquiry theme, helping us to understand that we share interests, but we are also interested in different things. This adds to our understanding of uniqueness and diversity.
There have been many lively discussions around this display that have carried over into learning conversations about topics we would like to investigate further.
Check out some of our responses. What do they tell us?
I liked to come in each morning (if mr k has not forgoten) to a FREASHLY changed subject like mayonase??? lots of DIFFERENT things
