Flotsam - Peer Assessment and Editing

As part of our work on 'Flotsam' this week, we have been taking a closer look at some of the fantastic illustrations in the book, and using them as a stimulus for our writing.  Children used magnifying glasses to study the pictures closely, trying to spot some additional details, before writing their own statements, questions and exclamations about each picture on sticky notes.  

The sticky notes were then shared around the room so that children could review, check and edit each other's work.  The results were very impressive, and we now have a huge bank of ideas for our working wall!
