29th Jan

We have realised that we can’t record sound while photos are being taken as everyone makes too much noise during that process, so while experiments with sound continued outside with Mrs Wilson and other groups uploaded their photos onto the computer and updated their written journals, I worked with smaller groups in rotation asking them each the same set of questions about the work so far.

Q: What are we noticing about our photos?

Birds in my nest, a robin on the pitch, that the time and date on the camera isn’t set.

They haven’t changed.

There is change every day.

No people.

Wind changing direction.

Windmill spinning

Daffodil buds growing

 

Q: Which two of each person’s photos are the most different?

 

Most people picked one with snow and one without. Euan’s photo of the bird bath shows the water going up and down and freezing.

 

Q: What they think needs to happen to all of the photos?

 

Put them in order

Display them on a board in the hall -the one closest to the classroom

Look at them all

Order them by place

Upload them onto the computer and print them out.

Show the first and the last.

Make a poster.

Put them in the journals

Laminate them

Write sentences about the changes between January and March

Show each person’s separately.

Count them all up

Use a graph tot show changes

Put them in order darkest to lightest

Blurriest to non-blurriest

 

I thought it was interesting that some of them aren’t concerned with that -they just enjoy the activity.

 

Q: Are you enjoying anything in particular about the experiment?

 

Looking at changes

Going outside taking photos -don’t usually get to go outside during class time.

Going round and seeing things

Taking photos with friends

Hearing birds and seeing nature that I haven’t seen before

Fun and getting fresh air

Get to see all the colours
