14 Days Until Christmas

We have been very busy with Christmas related activities in R5. We have been using the Literacy Shed videos as inspiration for our writing. Here are two adverts from John Lewis.

Today we used our senses to write poems about Christmas. We published these poems in many different ways. Here is some of our finished work.

iMovie Narratives

Yesterday, we used iMovie on the iPads to create narratives. We were given objects to use and had to take 4-6 photos that told a story with a problem and solution. Some of us managed to import our photos into iMovie and record a narrator telling the story. Here is a movie by Chloe, Callum and Ross.

Safe Places

As part of Kia Kaha, we have been talking about the places in school that we feel safe to play. The children in Room 5 were set a group challenge of recording a video on the iPad of themselves in both a safe and unsafe place to play within the school. They made some great videos, here are the results.
