10 weeks of P4C has not been anywhere long enough! I can't wait to continue using P4C when I get back from my STLP.
I have been blown away with their way the students are starting to really listen & build on to each other's ideas. I have notice this transfer through in to our reading & maths discussions. Students are using specific language, such as, "I disagree that..." (rather than I disagree with you). Ethical questions such as "Was it right for the fox family to eat chickens?" has really got the students to challenge their own thinking. When opinions changed during a lesson, it was also so exciting. Especially when students could articulate their thinking had changed. Due to interruptions, 3 sessions of P4C were often impossible to fit in. Below are the minutes from our fortnightly meetings. Videos from my building on skills lesson
This year for Matariki we worked with PÄ«wakawaka to make our own kites. This video explains a bit of the process.
Following on from the writing workshops, I am now getting students to record evidence of their learning using Seesaw activities. This is an easy way to track who is coming to which workshop & how they are progressing with their goal.
