Phase 2
Researching and investigating the world of stories
In phase 2 children learnt about different genres and elements of the stories. They acquired knowledge by first-hand investigations such as visiting a bookstore virtually and interacting with a story teller.They were introduced to different authors and their style of writing which helped them to visualize and create their own stories.
A virtual field trip to the Latitude Book store was arranged. Teachers live streamed the session from the field site. It was a novel experience for teachers as well as for the children. Children explored different genres of books, saw the reading corner which had stories depicted on the walls and also represented their thoughts in the form of representational drawings and mathematical representations.
