Reflecting on our Excursion

Today the Year 1 Neighbourhood began  reflecting on our excursion to the State Library of Victoria. After lunch we discussed as a neighbourhood what it means to reflect. The children made some insightful comments when asked 'What is Reflecting?'
Lucas started the coversation with 'You go forward, then you back'
Mary then asked 'How do you go back?'
Taylor replied 'With your mind;
Mirsu expanded on Taylor's comment by adding 'You rethink'
Nicole added 'You remind yourself what you did'

The children rotated around 3 learning experiences; writing a recount with Mark, representing the experience creatively with Mary and reflecting on the experience through the thinking routine 'I see ... I think ... I wonder ....' with Jessica. The children will continue with the recounts and the creative reflection next week during learning agreement. Below is what the children choose to draw when asked to represent what they saw and what had an impact on them at the library.
