Genius Hour

Over the next five weeks we will be working on our Genius Hour projects. We each chose a topic we are interested in and will research and present it to the class. We learn and develop so many skills from researching and presenting.

Today we started by reading a lovely poem called I Wonder. This will encourage us to ask lots of questions during our research. Have a look at the photos below of everyone working nicely together to decorate our poem.

I Wonder

 by Jeannie Kirby

I wonder why the grass is green,

And why the wind is never seen?

Who taught the birds to build a nest,

And told the trees to take a rest?

O, when the moon is not quite round,

Where can the missing bit be found?

Who lights the stars, when they blow out,

And makes the lightning flash about?

Who paints the rainbow in the sky,

And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?

Why is it now, do you suppose,

That Dad won’t tell me, if he knows?

We then thought about all the questions we would like to research for our Genius Hour topics. 

We are very excited about our topics.
