All Black Kiwi



These are our All black Kiwi that we made in support of the All Blacks who are playing France in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, this Saturday. GO ALL BLACKS!!!

RUGBY WORLD CUP Mission !!!



Well done Jayden, you have summarised your information and presented it digitally, very effectively!

Jayden's Reading Activity Lesson



Jayden asked if he could make a photostory to teach new children to the class what our independent reading activity choices were.

He completely independently:
- took all the digital photos of children actually in the act of doing their chosen activity.
- (Mrs Harland put them into photostory)then he decided which were good and which he would delete, until he was happy with the photos he had.
- decided not to do voice overs, but to type text onto each photo. He chose the font and described each photo.
- learned that the black text, in the middle of the photos made it hard to read on a lot of the slides, so he changed the font colours and placement on the slides to make them easier to read.
- edited the spelling.
- decided not to put music to the slides because he felt it was distracting.
- saved.

Wow! Jayden, what a lot of skill, decisions and persistence! Now we have a great slideshow for our new student. Thanks

RUGBY WORLD CUP Mission !!!







Our Mission is to:
- 'adopt' another country that is playing in the Rugby World Cup
- find out about the team and/or the country
- decide which three facts are the most interesting
- decide which picture and stamps best represent that country
- present those facts digitally using 'decosama'
- e-mail our presentation to friends and family

Wow!!! LC16 is bubbling with excitement about our mission.....and of course the Rugby!!

Story Making on the ipad

The Alien's Have Landed - By Kaia and Solomon



Kaia and Solomon have independently:

- choseen a paint and draw app. to draw a picture plan of their story
- created an appropriate title for that story
- planned an oral presentation
- recorded and checked their recording was up to their standards (using fotobabble)
- saved and e-mailed their story to people who they thought would enjoy their work.

Great story making, and co-operative working!

It's hard to plan an oral story with someone!!
