Reflection

This was a great reading lesson, as the children did not know much about Star Constellations. It was good to see them gain new understanding and for those doing this as their project - it supported their thinking and research.


I was leading a lot of the discussion, it would have been good to see the children start to ask higher-order thinking questions - this is definitely a goal to see them develop.
