Learning with Scarlet

From Teachers TV, this video shows a science lesson from the point of view of Scarlet, a Year Two child at St Mary's Primary School in Harborne, Birmingham. The lesson is about plants and the parts that we can eat. The class teacher, Veronica Knight, starts the lesson by introducing the learning objectives. From this point on we follow Scarlet as she takes part in two activities: making a salad from various parts of plants, and sorting a variety of fruit and vegetables into categories. By following Scarlet the programme is able to observe how she learns, seeing what parts of the activities she finds fascinating and also looks at where she does and doesn't interact. Teachers have to find the key to help each child learn in his or her own way. This programme gives an insight into how one child made sense of a science lesson. The lesson is reviewed in a further programme, Learning with Scarlet: Lesson Review
