Using critique to improve our work

Today we looked at how we could use critique to improve our work.  We looked at how it had helped children in other schools.
We decided to have a try ourselves.
We had a go at drawing Whoops-a-Daisy Angel. Then we worked together to look at what we thought was good about the picture and what we thought could be improved.
The children were really thoughtful and were saying things like, "I like how you have remembered the wings but perhaps they need to be a bit bigger".  "You have remembered her dress but don't forget she needs patches on it".
After our friends had given us some suggestions to improve our work we did a second and then a third draft.
We were amazed when we compared our first draft to our final draft. We could see how helpful it had been to listen to advice from our friends about how we could make our work better.
We were real persevering penguins today as we just kept trying to get better and better.
