Classification - What is it?

This morning each home group started discussing classification and how we could classify our treasures. Each home group had a fabulous discussion about what classification was, when we classify and how we classify. In 1JB Felix lead a discussion about the classification of television programs. Each home group placed the treasures into tentitive groupings. A small committee of 6 will classify all the neighbourhood's treasures into approximately 10 different groups and these groups will create their treasure map together.  

In Learning Agreement the children had the opportunity to further explore classification in the Investigating learning space. Ludvig, Will H and Elyas classified shells according to level of sound they made when held to their hear. The three groups were 'yes, you can hear a noise', 'no, you can't hear a noise' and 'sort of hear noise'.



Can you guess which group makes the loudest 'noise'?
