Plant Inquiry/Wonderings

Extension Reading group

This is a group of 2 pupils who are reading at level 22.
They have been working on comprehension of factual texts and making links to the wider world as from observations during reading this appeared to be an area of need.

Both children showed interest in the text Growth and were asking a lot of questions. They also had some misconceptions regarding plants and seeds.

Both children have drawn what they know about plants and what they would like to find out or investigate or what they are wondering. I scaffold them in this task by asking questions to prompt further thinking, e.g. can you tell me some more about ....,


next step children used the question rubric to ask each other questions
making a note of questions they were not sure of or wondered more about.


rank questions to investigate first and brainstorm ideas.
