Walkthrough Shelter

After a few weeks of our unit of inquiry, the understanding of what shelter meant has changed for our geckos. This walk-through was all about what they learned and how they reflected their learning. This event took place on 19th September where all the PP1 geckos had invited the school to witness their learning.

Although there is so much reflection of learning happening on a daily basis, the facilitators of PP1 wanted to create an atmosphere to exhibit the geckos, learning. The largest gain from this event was that the facilitators and geckos worked together towards the same.

To begin with, geckos have formulated a lot of ideas in the discussion of preparing for the event and brainstormed about displaying different shelters. Geckos were enthusiastic to speak about all the concepts they learned in this unit of inquiry. At the hour of the event the geckos organized themselves to present the walkthrough. It seemed like beautiful bays of different houses. This event enabled geckos to demonstrate their learning. During this event our geckos expressed their classroom learning and answered those questions that were asked of them. This event comprised of different stations like display of stations like  igloo, ancient, medieval and modern, stilt, slope, kutcha house, temporary and permanent shelter, animal shelter and natural calamities.
