We interviewed our buddies about life in prep so far. Below is one of the voicethreads we made. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it.

 THE BUDDY PROGRAM

Each week for one period, the year 6 students get together with the prep/1 students to do an activity together. So far this year we have made “Getting to Know you” posters, learnt songs and shared our favourite books and stories. The year 6 students had to design a book response for the book and these were created as a joint project.

 Last week, the prep/1’s were invited to bring along their favourite teddy or toy and the year 6 students interviewed the special guests. The results of these interviews were made into a powerpoint presentation, and the answers were recorded onto each slide. The prep/1 students had to answer as the teddy and the results were gorgeous.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

The year 6 students brainstormed some questions for the teddies, prior to the interviews. I encouraged the students to ask the questions as though the teddies had real identities. These are the questions the students came up with:

• What is his/her name?
• How old is he/she?
• What is his/her favourite food?
• What is his/her favourite thing to do while you are at school?
• Does he/she like tea parties?
• Has he/she ever been in hospital?
• What is the naughtiest thing he/she has ever done?
• What was his/her favourite holiday destination?
• What does he/she want to be when they grow up?

I intend to post the results of these gorgeous interviews as soon as somebody clever shows me how to post a powerpoint link or the voice recordings. Stay tuned.
