Innovation of Fairy Tales

Room 27 have learnt that people can innovate or change fairy tales, like Little Red Riding Hood, so that the story is told in a different way. 

These two stories tell very different opinions or points of view


We made wanted posters for the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. These posters told the different opinions on who the "baddie" was, in the story. We got to use lots of awesome adjectives in our writing. 



                                   


                                   


Crow and the Pot

We have been learning about the Crow and the Pot in inquiry. We looked at YouTube videos of clever crows that could solve really hard problems. Room 27 decided that crows are innovative because they are problem solvers. 

We wanted to use a Y chart to help us brainstorm ideas and words that we could use to describe crows in our writing. 

This is how the Red Group described the crow


                           

Geometry Sorting

Makayla, Dallas and Roman we using the sorting circles to group and sort shapes by their different characteristics or features.

They sorted shapes into one group of triangles and one group of shapes that were not triangles. 



Can you think of another way we could sort them? 

Innovation Term Three

Sorry we haven't been blogging a lot, we have been so busy with our learning. 

This term we are learning about innovation: 
Enduring Understanding- 
Innovation is a result of creative thinking and problem solving and is necessary for communities to thrive and grow. 

We would like to know about something that you have innovated or changed so that it meets a need in your life.
