Ipads for Learning

On 7th September there is a parent evening being held to demonstrate how technology is enhancing the learning of your children at Riverdale School.

Below is a slideshow that will be running during a 'workshop presentation' that I will be hosting, on the learning and curriculum links involved when you child uses e-mail to communicate his/her written thoughts.

I am looking for a couple of children who's parents are attending, to demonstrate how we use the ipads for e-mailing, as part of our written language programme. If your child would like to participate and you will be attending, I would love to hear from you as soon as possible.

Thanks for all the support, through your written e-mail responses, that the children receive. It makes a great deal of difference to their motivation to have an authentic audience to write to.

Dinosaur Day

We read a poem/song that taught us some new vocabulary!

- extinct
- carnivore
- herbivore

then we designed our own dinosaurs.

We are very proud of them. What do you think??

Three Little Pigs the Remix!!

We are learning to identify the important parts of a story, put it into a flow chart, work as a team to do the pictures for each part. Then we decided what the characters would say on each frame. Finally, we had to cooperate to record the voice overs for each slide. PHEW !!!! What a fabulous job LC16 did!!

Isabel's stop motion animation: The Accident!

Isabel listened so well at school that she went home and applied her learning to create her own photostory animation. We loved the matching sound effects Isabel!!
