Collaborative Games - Parents / Whanau day

Here are some photos of the Year 4 Trio working collaboratively to create a new game to play with their parents. Children were split into groups of 3 or 4 across the 3 classes and had to design a game based on a Big Foot Adventures Team Building Game. 

Then their collaborative group had to work hard to plan, organise and prepare their games for parents to come in and play with them.

You did such a great job Year 4 Trio. You should be very proud of all the creating, planning and following through with all your games. 

A huge 'Thanks' to the parents/whanau that were able to pop along.

Children: what did you learn from this whole experience? 

What would you do differently next time?

Learning to write Instructions - with good detail.

This week we looked at how precise instructions need to be in order to be successful for the reader/audience.

Collaborative groups were asked to write instructions on how to "Make Jam on Toast."  Sounds easy... but maybe not. Here are some photos of instructions that we followed.



Opps, you need to remember to tell the person to take the toast out of the toaster and place it on a plate before 'spreading on the butter and jam."

Check out these children working collaboratively. Are any of these games like the ones that you are designing?
