Swimming at Glen Innes

This term, we have been so thrilled about being able to go swimming at our local YMCA.  So much fun!  We learned to float, kick, go under the water... and so much more!  Our swimming skills have improved and we are much more confident.

Playing and Writing

We've been trying something new this week - playing before writing, to give us some more ideas to create our stories!  We've also been practising our photo-taking skills at the same time.  Here's some of the photos that our students captured of their learning...

Using the Lassoe Tool

Today we used the lassoe tool on our iPads to circle groups of numbers... and then we counted them to find out how many there were altogether.  Here is our work...

This is Diane's work... 2+2=4

This is Zaneta's work... 2+2=4

This is Carolina's work... 1+1=2

This is Kakala's work...  2+2=4

Writing Numbers Using the Draw Tool

What an awesome time we had today learning how to take pictures and make them bigger or smaller in the Explain Everything app.  We even got to use the draw tool to write numbers to match our pictures!

This is Noah's picture.  There are 2 yellow bears. 

This is Mercy's picture.  There are 8 red bears.

This is Kordel's picture.  There is 1 blue bear.

Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu

We are very excited to shortly begin our new class blogging programme and hope to build our confidence and our understanding of Learn Create Share over the year.

We are ready as a class to connect, collaborate, support our cybersmart learning, and utilise our classroom blog as a powerful tool with you and hope that you will find it engaging and inspiring through reading and writing the comments we make and those you leave behind on our class (and in time) individual blogs.  

By using Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu we will harness our understanding of Learn, Create, Share and we are confident that with an authentic audience who will regularly comment, the learning we are sharing will develop too.

Welcome to our Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu team...we are so excited to get to know you and share our learning. We hope that we can create new ideas to support our connections and collaborations together.

Lets write to me, write to you
