A picture can literally tell a thousand words

These last few weeks our work in class has revolved around a picture painted nearly 400 years ago. It is called "Still Life With Drinking Horn" and after discovering it was painted in the 1600's Class RB wanted to find out more about that time.

We used a website called Popplet to share with each other what we already knew and then what we would want to learn. We all worked on this in the ICT room and were amazed that we could all work on the same piece of work at the same time and see each others thoughts straight away.

After rearranging the questions the children then went home and found the answers through different ways. Google appeared to be the most popular method of finding out information though.

You can see the result below

  3. Popplet looks great, I am really impressed with your work Class RB! Mr Bird, I would love to know how you set Popplet up so that the whole class can work on it at the same time, and also how you get the children to spell their comments correctly? Could you give more information on how this lesson worked?
