Reading for Report Writing

This week we have been learning how to write reports.  Mrs Gardiner was back in class today so the Centipede and Snails reading groups were introduced to their independent reading projects for this week and next.

Here are a few examples of their work.  Well done!

Playing around with Thinglink

Today we had were lucky to have Mr Bell come into our classroom to help us learn about the iMac.  Jake and Ella were learning how to transfer images and videos from the iPad onto the iMac.  Well done you two, and thankyou Mr Bell.

Along side this we also had a group of children learning how to use a tool called Thinglink.  This can be use both on Computer as well as on iPad.  We were using iPads today.  Here are some links to ones children created today.  Please bear in mind that this was a first attempt.

Sequencing Publishing - Buster

This publishing uses time sequencing words to sequence my story.  In my story I used first, next, and finally.

Bush Walk Cameo - Buster

This week we were planning to do a cameo based around walking up Te Ahu Ahu but it was to wet to go so we created some Cameos based round us going for a walk in the bush area just beside our classroom.  Mrs Gardiner gave us an example that encouraged us to think about what we could see, hear, smell, touch (and taste).  Here is my published story.

Our writing goal today were to make sure we had spaces between words and missing lines.
