A day at the Forest part 2.

A Day in the Forest- Project Part 2.

Mrs. Sanna Kokko, 3rd grade teacher

Mrs. Kaisa Loponen, 4 grade teacher

We went to forest in September where we planned a beginning for a story. We continued story making at school. The students worked in mixed group of 3^rd and 4^th graders. The groups started by making a storyline for the future story together. After that two students continued writing and two other students started making art of same issue. We continued working weekly and every time the groups met they presented what they have done. The writing pair consisted of 3^rd and 4^th graders  so the 4^th graders teached  ICT-skills at the same time for the youngers. Almost all groups made a rap out of their story.

            

The ready stories recorded with Lumia920 phones and we made QR-codes with www.goqr.me page. The printed codes attached to artworks and the raps got their own codes, too. Now the wall outside the classroom has fine ensemble of work for the enjoy of the whole school.

Co-operation with two age groups was seamless and they are waiting for next challenges. The goal for the whole project was to develop co-operation skills, problem solving, creativity and ICT-skills. We got part of nature science, Finnish language, art, music and P.E curriculum.
