Term 4: Week 2

This week I did my first technology lesson with the whole class which I really enjoyed. The first picture is one of the kites they made in pairs as a capture activity. I didn't give them any prior information just to try make a kite that would fly. Afterwards we talked about why some kites flew and why some kites didn't. We then touched on the four forces of flight before they went off to plan their kite with the new information they learned which is shown in the second photo. We are going to make this end product on Tuesday next week and re test our kite against a success criteria.

I also took a maths lesson this week which looked at number lines and finding the equation in word problems as they struggled with these in my observations. I was really pleased with how well they did and in my next lesson I will change the phrasing of my word problems to see if they are still able to find the equation. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to teach again this week and to work with the kids.
