Chester Borrows visits Room 4

Room 4 had a special visitor today. Chester Borrows came into our classroom to see what things we were doing with our iPad class. We were doing writing at that time and he was able to see some of students doing Lexia on their iPads and 1 group was working on a google doc together.  Here Ashton is showing Chester our Aurasma art work.

Maths in Room 4

Today in maths the triangles group were learning to add large numbers using place value. Here Jorja  explains how they use place value when adding numbers together.

Writing Road

The children explaining how our writing road works. Once our class finish good writing models at different stages, these will be posted on our wall so children can see what writing looks like at different stages.

Life Education

This was our last visit to Harold and Life Ed this year. We learnt lots about our personality and how unique we are. Harold also showed us how some of our major organs such as our heart and kidneys, and also explained how important they are to our body. We look forward to seeing Harold next time.

Digital Self-Portraits

We have finished our first piece of artwork for the year. We have made a digital self-portrait using mosaic art. We also used Aurasma to show information about ourselves.

COUNTING ON USING MATERIALS

In maths today the Stars learnt how to count on using materials. We all decided that it is easier to add the smaller number on to the bigger number e.g. 3 + 9 start with 9 and add on 3 to get 12. If we get stuck we can use materials such as counters to help us count on.

AURASMA???

In Room 4 we have been using a cool new app called Aurasma. It connects images and video together. We used Aurasma to create videos about how our school values can be used when using iPads. Next time you visit Room 4 grab an iPad, click on the Aurasma icon, and hover over any of the school values to see the videos that the children have made. 

First Use of iPads

Today Room 4 learnt how to log into our google accounts. All children have gmail accounts which will be used throughout the year. We also named our iPads. We did this by taking a photo of ourselves and setting it as our lock and home screen. Tomorrow we will start using Puppet Pals.
