Y5 Planning Teaching and Learning



I'm having a really interesting afternoon with Y5P. The class have been asked to plan a lesson to teach Y3/4 about condensation and the water cycle. A great idea as apparently we learn 90% of what we teach!!!!

I'm sat with Ashley and Marissa who have got some great ideas about what makes good teaching and learning - learning should be fun and interesting, sometimes diagrams are useful, not too much talking (by teachers), or a lesson being too long and getting the children doing things for themselves. They are planning a very 'interactive' lesson which I'm sure will be successful.

I also enjoyed looking at Milo's new laptop and camera. The equipment allows him to zoom in on detail anywhere in the class. He is very skilled at using it.

Well done Y5P.
