Journalist Task 3

TASK 3. Journalist.

Hi everyone! This two weeks we have develop a different activity. It consisted in show and talk to the children about an item, but in this case, the teachers were free to expose to them in the way they wanted, so this activity has been very successfully because every group has understood something new about another one. In our chase, we decided to show the children the item about dimensions, where firstly we talked with them about the basic figures in two dimensions, such as a triangle, a square or a circle. We wanted that the children experiment with this activity so we decided to use some materials to make the class more attractive to them and become more active. We use some candies and also some toothpick and they had to create a figure, firstly a square and a triangle. We explained them why they have two dimensions. After that, we started to talk about three dimensions figures, and what were the differences with the two dimensions. Once we explained it, we aimed them to try to create a three dimension square, that it’s called a cube, and with the triangle, it’s called pyramid.

For the explanation of this activity there were two stars: Helena and Sofía.

We selected this way of learning in which children are very participative because we think it’s more funny and interesting to the children to participate and be part of the explanation of the class, not just been listening.

Here you can see one image of our group preparing the work.
