Activities up and running!!!

Well just completed day one and completed activity 1 & 2 with the children today. Children really seem to be getting more and more interested as the day and activities go on. I found that only a small majority of the class enjoyed and gained info and ideas from the first section of activity one (giving them a chance to research on-line museums). However when the children were discussing what they wanted and didn't want to include in their on-line museums they came up with some great ideas and excellent reasons to support their ideas. Was very impressed!!!
The class seemed to be more excited when they received the 2Nd letter and the culturegram. They really enjoyed looking and discussing the pictures and diagrams on the culturegram, and have come up with some good questions for them to begin researching very soon!!
The best bit of today, i thought, was when they were drawing an object to place in their office and deciding where they should have their office!! We now have about 21 computers in our class :)

All in all it has been a very successful day and excited about carrying on tomorrow :)

P.S

This is out Arctic learning wall :) although not very clear!!! We have 3 polar bears, 1 of which is swimming in the water, and the others are walking on the snow. One child did mention that there was not a gap for the swimming bear to get out of the water so that is now being changed!! We have an ice burg, and in the process of adding clouds :) Kids love it :)
