What do we want to find out about Spring?

In groups we brainstormed what we already know about Spring. We know lots about Spring from when we were
Juniors!

For homework we had to write questions on what we want to find out about Spring. In writing today we looked at our questions to see how they fit on the question matrix.

We wrote our questions on post-it-notes and put them on big pieces of paper.

There were lots of questions and Amelia suggested we grouped the questions. This was a great idea!

We had a discussion on how we could group them and gave it a go. We found this very confusing because everyone was talking and moving the post-it-notes! Tosh suggested we make headings for the groups so we know where to put the questions. Another great idea! Once we did this we sat back and looked at our collection. There were many questions asking the same thing so we put them together. We don't want to throw them out!

Miss Hill was very proud of how we took control of our learning today. We asked questions and discussed our ideas with each other. Here are some comments and questions Miss Hill heard:
-"what do you think this means?"
-"where should I put this lamb one?"
-"can you help me with this one?"
-"put that one here"
-"this one is the same as your one"
