Having fun creating in our learning

This week, Room 7 are reading a story called Badge of Honour. One of the activities was to impersonate the school principal in the story and to address a student character in the story who has not been wise in his decisions. The story is a great read. It is based in New Zealand and the Room 7 students can relate to this story in many ways. 

Here are the slides Room 7 have been working through. You can also access the text from the slides.

Here is Soane's impersonation of Miss Latu the school principal from the story Badge of Honour.

The create aspect of the Learn, Create, Share pedagogy is a focus in my inquiry. I have a lot of fun thinking of activities where my students can learn and create at the same time. I love seeing their creativity coming through in their work and their confidence to take risks.
