Gathering Prior Knowledge

Gathering Prior Knowledge

• Provide opportunities and support for learners to engage with, practise and apply learning to different contexts and make connections with prior learning. 


When beginning a new topic, one of the ways I determine what children know and what prior knowledge we have as a collective, is through using Padlet.  This gives children a space for organising ideas, sharing what they know and also sparking memory of previously learned information.  It is a safe format for them to use as they can have ideas with or without their name.
Here is an example of a Padlet we used for Matariki:
