Chinese New Year Lesson Observation

[Guest teampink]

Hi All,

 

As part of my performance management the HT is observing everyone this week focussing on 'Writing and how it's promoted within each area'. Out theme this week is Chinese New Year and I can come up with lots of ideas for mark making within the continuous provision i.e. writing menus, making orders in the Chinese take away role play, writing cards, writing Chinese symbols in painting area/tuff spot. My main problem/stumbling block is thinking of something really 'WOW' to start the lesson and ignite the children's interest and where to take this on to the adult guided task. At the moment my mind is completely blank - I've thought of food tasting but need to incorporate writing in some way?

My HA children are competently writing sentences.

MA writing caption7 ascribing meanings/labels

LA making marks

 

All help much appreciated

I think you need to determine your Learning objectives more precisely to enable us to help you.

Thank you for your reply Susan - I would like to work with the HA children so my objective would be "To write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others." Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Could you write messages and put them in (paper) fortune cookies?

Not very inspired at the moment sorry but could be a good way of encouraging children to write for a friend to open and read?

It's late... I'll keep thinking

I've never tried to but you can make fortune cookies out of paper or felt.
