Life on Land session 5 Walliston Primary School with Claire

by Claire,

Session 6

DATE 4.6.2025

Native animal charades - One player acts out an Australian native animal, and the others use their imagination to guess what animal it is. We had all sorts of animals from platypus, Quendas and trapdoor spiders. It was a lot of fun in the wet area today.

Main Activity (one photo)

Today we had wet weather so we stayed inside the classroom and gave the students time to organise their field books and annotate them with their observations, and research vai the ipads. Most of the students finished painting their reptiles. Next week they should be ready for their habitats. So far we have some lovely pages on local floral, fauna, reptiles and birds.

Reflection with the students (one photo)

The students were in the zone and in a state of flow, so we will do the reflection at the beginning of next week.

After the session: Planning with the Teacher

(refer back to your original Term Plan document, discuss successes, explore challenges and make changes.)

Claire is away next week. Mr Bushby will continue with creative schools flying SOLO!

Working with students

(what is emerging, what is engaging them/not, what’s making them curious.)

It was a lovely and relaxed atmosphere, all the students were super engaged in their learning. Mr Bushby has a wonderful calming effect on these guys.

Ideas moving forward

(ideas for next session, future lessons, discussed with teacher, do you need the teacher to do anything before you return.)

They will continue with more research, painting their reptiles and finishing any pages that need annotation.
