Sharing our stories in different ways

Today we had the choice between creating a real story or an imaginative one that involved swimming at school.

We chose to either use Clicker Docs or DoodleCast on the iPads and collaborated with others.


Here's Hailey and Isla listening back to their story...

  



Then they reflected on how they went.  They decided that they did a good job of remembering some important information and also talking and drawing at once.  They also decided the their next step is to ensure they don't talk over each other.  

What do you think?




Beatrice, Keira, Lily and Madi worked together to create this story - they're still having a think about their reflection.  What do you think they did well?



Look at all this awesome thinking, collaboration and reflection!!

Missing you all lots. Stay safe and keep up the great learning! See you all very soon. From Miss Hinge xxx

Writing about our painted characters!

Mrs Purcell's writing groups have been panting the most amazing characters.  They brainstormed words, then drafted their stories, conferenced, published and then read their stories (so they could be typed).  

Didn't they do well!


Mr Tall is tall and he has long legs and he likes to be happy.  He also likes to jump up and down and he nearly touches the sun.  He comes with a thump and everything goes up.  Mr Tall is blue and he is orange and he is green.  He is purple and he is red.  By Ben



Miss Molly has a purple tail and has eyes and a blue side.  By Mia



Mrs Rose-fluffball is big and she eats like a pig.  She is a girl and she is happy.  He favourite thing is singing and playing.  She is happy.  She pinches herself.  She is purple and she has a black nose. She likes to dance.  By Hailey
