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.

I Wonder

Today we started talking about our learning pathways topic for Term 2. The topic of study is Our World. Some of the children had some questions about the topic that they recorded onto the iPad.

We are going to be exploring the our world's continents and oceans. Check out this video about the continents and oceans on Earth.

Do you have any questions about our world? Or maybe you have an answer to one of Room 5's questions. Please leave a comment.

Walk the Plank

Here is another iMovie narrative created on the iPad about a pirate who has to walk the plank!

Thank you to Liah from Ruma 20 for your help!

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.
