Fabulous Room 4's Inquiry Journey

This term our focus has been on self assessment and linking that to solo. We used freeze frames to retell parts of the well known fairy tale "The Gingerbread Man". The children enjoyed being creative and using there bodies as a form of art. After introducing the idea of looking at our selves and talking about the idea of self assessment the children really enjoyed the opportunity to not only improve themselves but to have input in helping others.

From there we talked about solo and the journey of learning something new. We talked about where we would sit on the solo model in relation to self assessment. To my amazement the children got it and came up with some fab self assessments, used what they wrote to place themselves on the solo model and produce awesome freeze frames.
