My year 3/4 class range from p7 to 4b. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Fly Eagle Fly for two weeks. There was much drama, discussions about reaching our full potential, moral dilemmas and mind blasting of ideas. The end of the unit enabled the children to successfully produce a superb piece fo writing entitled "Why I can fly". This provided an ideal opportunity for the writing to be APP'd with many producing writing that raised them a sub-level.
We are moving onto Varjak Paw this week and I have to say I am very excited about sharing a novel with the children and evoking emotions and opinions from it.
The only difficulty I have had with the sequences is creating differentiation. We as teachers are encouraged by our head to differentiate ALL of our lessons 3 ways and this isn't always possible with some of the activities.
Thanks for some superb ideas!!!
