We have done the tuning in -with first idea, finding out, sorting out second idea and now conclusion stages on our inquiry on "What makes a great New Entrant Room?"
The conclusion is that if we want to have all the things, we think we need ,to have this NE class we need a bigger space to fit it all in. R7 sprang to the children's mind as being bigger and we spent quite a lot of time "measuring ' that and our room to see which was the biggest. At the prediction stage before the measuring most thought R7 (which has very little furniture was the biggest. R was brave enough to say that he thought they were the same size. The look on his face when later on he was proved right ,was a joy to see.
I told the class about the secret wall hooks between R1 and R2 and so we are onto the Taking Action stage this week ,where we are going to ask our Principal "If R1 teacher was willing to move to one of the classes that are going to be spare in 2010, could the New Entrant room be a double classroom please?"
We need to work out our presentation and involve several children in it.
