We spent the morning trying out a wicked new app called VidRhythm. You get to make sounds and add them into songs. Sometimes we used words, sometimes crazy sounds. Even our teacher did one!! Feel free to comment on the videos :)
Given only 1 newspaper, a pair of scissors and Sellotape we had to create clothes and accessories suitable for a meeting with the government. So much fun!!!
My first job was to research about my animal - the Great White Shark. Then I had to find cool pictures of Great White Sharks (I found some at home). Then I used Storyrobe on the iPad to record my story. Enjoy, I hope you like it!
Recently we had a student teacher come to our class - Miss Kearney. As part of her learning she taught us dance.
The children were taught different dance elements such as locomotor, non-locomotor, pathways and levels. They taught each other different dance movements that they then made into a dance. Luck we had scissors in our pants so we could cut some shapes on the d-floor!!!! Click the link below to view the dance...
We have spent a few weeks learning the Maori words for the different members of our family. Then we drew each person, added a sentence that told people their name and then how they were related to us. The sentences we used were:
Ko ___________ tenei (This is __________)
Ko ia taku ______________ (He/She is my ____________)
We learnt words like kuia, koro, mama, papa, teina and many more.
Here are the vidoes we made about our families. We used a really cool app called "Storyrobe" to make them. We hope you enjoy!!
