Story Telling

Today we've put out learning into practice by using the iPads to record our voices and drawings at once.  Last week we learnt how to use DoodleCast and this week we recorded our stories.  Some of us talked about the school fair and others decided to use the prompts to help us get started.

Those of us that had time, listened to our stories, reflected and had a go at making them even better.

How do you think we went?

Reflection: "I want to try again.  I say the same thing over and over"

"I did good because it was the best story I've ever done on DoodleCast.  I could find a quieter space next time"

 

"My next step is to try not to say 'um' and 'I got', use some new words"

"Next time I could make a better story by adding different colours and making the story a bit longer" 

"Next time I would go somewhere quieter and maybe find out a way to make it less squeaky"

"Next time I could do some more talking"

WALHT: Give and receive feedback in writing

Today we gave feedback to each other in our writing.

We talked about sharing the things that we liked and suggesting a next step or two.  We decided that feedback is a really exciting thing as it reminds us of what we did well and helps us in our learning.

We also looked at the WALHT ('We Are Learning How To...') and tried to decide if the learner focused on this.

Here's Mrs Chant's example for Griffin:

Here we are sharing some of our feedback:

Maths Learning in Hub 5 and 6

Can you order numbers to 20?

Can you read and match numerals number words and patterns?

Do you know some dice games that can help you practice counting and recognising number patterns?

Do you know the numbers before and after to 20?

Practising our list words with word finds and chalk

We are practising looking for our list words in word find puzzles, looking through each line from left to right.  Another great way of practising them is drawing with chalk outside. We have put some of them up on our word wall, so we have another place to look if we get stuck.

Literacy Time!!

We were writing about what we would cook on a bbq, sausages, steak, chops and all with tomato sauce! What would you like to cook on  a bbq?

We were learning about dinosaurs!! We even got to draw and cut one out!!!

The yellow group were building their knowledge around compound words e.g netball, playground. Can you think of any compound words?

Practicing our fine motor skills through art

We cut out a flower shape and stuck it onto some coloured paper, now we are gluing on small bits of paint samples we cut out another session. These are just a few fun ways to strengthen our hand muscles and help us with our pencil grip for writing.

Literacy time in hub 5 and 6

Eric you are being so determined, writing about nanny Lily. You taught me how to write her name in cantonese, thankyou!

Nana Helen sounds like a lovely lady Georgia, awesome independent writing!

Granny Krissy would be very proud of you, being so self aware during writing!

You tried out a new app on the i-pad to help with fine motor skills and key words, well done Griffin!

Numeracy

Today for our warm up we ordered numbers to 20.

Then we decorated our cakes on our whiteboards with m&m's and beans. We were leaning how to add two sets of materials together.

Can you remember how many m&m's were on your cake?
 

Harold!

We have been so enthused by Harold and what he has taught us, that we shared what we learnt during discovery.  

Some of us even made Harold!
