So What?

Over the last few weeks we have been exploring the ideas of creativity and thoughtfulness.  Today we recapped our learning and shared what our big concepts and learning has been.

From here we talked about 'So What?' - how can we share our learning with those around us and show our understanding of these concepts we have been learning about.  We created a 'So What?' list of ways that we thought we could share our learning with others.

After we had created this list we used a thinking tool called a 'Decision Matrix' - it helps you to be able to make a decision on things when using some different criteria.  So on the left side Miss Signal placed all of our options and at the top we put all of our big learning ideas.  We then went through as a class and thought about how our ideas matched and fitted in with our big learning ideas.  From this we came up with 3 main ideas that we thought best matched how we could share our learning.

We then had a secret vote and decided which project we would like to be involved in.  You'll have to wait to see what we decided!

Prioritising Thoughtfulness

Miss Signal gave us a task to order these 7 things from the most thoughtful to the least thoughtful out of the list.  When we shared them with the class we found that we all had different ideas of what was the most thoughtful.

Does it sometimes depend on who the thoughtful thing is for - or is it just as important to be thoughtful to anyone on this planet?

 

In what order would you list these 7 events?

What Does it Mean to be Thoughtful?

Our next job is to investigate the idea of being 'thoughtful'.

What does it mean?

What does it look like?

What does it feel like? 

- When you are the one being thoughtful

- When you are the one getting the thoughtfulness

Does being thoughtful cost money?

Here are our examples that we could think about how we have or other people have been thoughtful.  After we wrote this list we decided what was the most thoughtful thing someone had done.  We thought about whether it had cost money or not.

What's a thoughtful experience you have had?

Leave us a comment to tell us about it - we would love to know!
