Discovery Time Review

As the term draws to a close we reviewed the term's worth of Discovery Time. As a teacher I like to try new things and felt that Discovery Time was worth the effort in time and preparation. Here is what the children thought.

PLUS.....

• Everyone can get involved.

• It's very creative- it's our favourite school day.

• We can learn from mistakes and keep on learning.

• You are the boss of your self and you can be creative.

• We look forward to it every week.
  

• We can tidy up on time, without a hassle.
  

• There is a good choice of things to do.

• We can improve ourselves- at the beginning I would loose things and now I almost don’t.

• We are working together now and sharing more.

• I like all the activities!!!!!

• I like the bubble blowing because you do exciting experiments to see how you can blow even bigger bubbles.

• Kids got on with it and we didn’t make a big fuss.

• Making the Discovery models is really hard.

• There is always something interesting to do and there is a good choice. I like to build stuff that we don’t get to do at home

• I like to put the Lego robot together because I am good at doing it.

• It is a good way to practice managing ourselves.

• We always get along with each other.

• I like the colourful, creative things that we do.

• I focus more on the stuff that I am doing now than when we started.
  

• I like Discoverying new things!

MINUS.....

• Sometimes we don’t get other school things done.

• It is expensive to buy extra things for the class to use.

• It takes loads of time, resources and money.

• Some of the things we didn’t get to finish in the time we had.

• Some times things get a bit messy.

• I get paint on myself.

• We are not so keen on doing the reading and blogging options during Discovery because we can do that at home any way.
