Inventor Biographies - work in progress!

We have been learning about inventors and inventions. In writing we chose to focus on how to write a biography, first we had to all learn what one was. We have read biographies and taken notes from ones written about a famous inventor. Next we used those notes to construct our own biography about our chosen inventor. We have focused on how to structure a biography in time order of the inventor's life and the use of paragraphs to link our facts. We have edited, partner edited and had a conference with the teacher. Lastly we are publishing our biographies onto a class slide so we can print it and have our own published book about famous inventors. This is a work in progress, I have added the slide now so you can keep an eye on how our class can work together using our devices to create a collaborative piece of work.

Welcome to the Dragon's Den

This term we have been learning about inventors and inventions, what better way to celebrate this learning than making it authentic, lets invent!  The children have been learning about how to make a pitch, and being an inventor.  We followed the inquiry process to question, seek answers and create a possible solution to a problem.  Once we have presented we are reflecting on our learning and considering how we may have done things differently if given the chance again.  Once again I have been blown away with where the children can take their own learning.   I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Our Passion Project Presentation - The slideshows

On Monday Room 7 started to present their Passion Projects with the class.  We have lots of demonstrations and practical activities that students have organised.  Shared on here are the presentations that they shared with our class. We have all evaluated each others learning and given feedback and feed forward. I am always impressed with the high standard our students achieve with these presentations.
