Session 7 Piara Waters - Andrea and Jasmine Year 7 Maths

by Andrea Rassell,

Warm Up (one photo)

Object Transformation - Pass an ordinary object around the circle. Each student must accept what the previous student said the object was and transform it into something new, saying "Yes, it's a ___, and it's also a ___."

Highlights were: elements of a telescope, a gun in its holster, a wig, a skullcap.

Main Activity (one photo)

Food drive poster design and pop up studio photography of fruit and veges brought in by students (these will feed into our algebraic representation next week)

Reflection with the students (one photo)

Add sand from today’s creative habits
Imaginative, collaborative, imaginative

After the session:

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

Challenges have been shifting plans around cooking as our art form.

We have pivoted to finish the posters earlier to fit the schools suggested advertising date. Week 7 will be a session that straddles completing the poster (even though some will already be up around the school) and making.
If working with digital systems how to avoid them using templates. Can just say not allowed to use.

We discussed more intricately integrating curriculum elements into the activities. We will try and do this better in advance in term 3 and will trial sharing class plans so the activities can be designed at exactly the right level and with stronger connection to curriculum.

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

Students seemed to enjoy the design task of today and the photography, they got really playful with the “food styling” adding hats and ribbons to adorn the fruit and veges.

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

Finalise the poster, this work also feeds into the video. Hand draw some titles? Extend on the digital creative work.

Resources
(do you need anything, who will source it?)

Andrea to send photos from today’s studio to Jasmine for student access in Canva for next week.

Jasmine meeting with the school admin to finalise session 8 incursion. May need to shift to week 9 but that is fine with Andrea’s timetable.

How can you share learning outcomes/stories of transformation with the wider school community (e.g. Connect newsletter, staff meeting, school newsletter, school social media platforms)

School facebook

Compass (intranet) to raise awareness with families

Andrea and Jasmine to share photos with each other via google drive
