Meeting P1 and P2

First session with P1 and P2: the children are working in an unfamiliar room with bigger chairs and tables and they haven’t met me or learned to use the whiteboard so we are took it very gently and spent time on introductions. We are tying in with the curricular topic “All about me”. The children used the i-pad and we found the camera button -some of them knew how to use it already. They learned to put the i-pad into selfie mode and normal mode and took pictures of themselves and each other. They used their experiments to help them to make simple masks from cardboard and cut out eyes and mouth. Some of them decided to cut out the nose so their own nose could poke through the cardboard. I was working away at my own mask and stepped aside for a moment to get something. Almost immediately I could hear one of the P1’s shouting, “Where did she go?” -I had been missed straight away. The children worked away steadily and all of a sudden the class started to present themselves at the camera for me to see their work. I didn’t know everyone’s names and I couldn’t recognise who it was behind the masks, just these fantastic characters appearing. It was quite an experience. I saw that some of the children were using the i-pads during the session for spontaneous documentation of the process. The P1’s and P2’s are naturals at all of this. So. Much. Fun.
