Project update after school visits
The provocation of new and greater vocabulary has become the hook for a new way of inviting parents to engage with the school
Years 3 and 4 threw down the gauntlet at the end of a school day in week 2 with a creative, playful protest asking parents to donate/exchange a word for a growing vocabulary sculpture
In week 4 the children have been developing soundscapes, using sound to stimulate new vocabulary. They have been creating their own forest soundscapes, creating group poems about different sounds and creating their own wind-chimes as inspiration for new vocabulary
Parents have been invited to connect with the project in different ways - from donating and receiving words, to interacting with the finished wind-chimes, and helping create the vocabulary sculpture over the next few weeks
