Rotations

During the last sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays the neighbourhood are involved in learning rotations. The rotations consist of guided reading and independent reading as well as borrowing in the library, ICT workshops in the library and maths projects in the neighbourhood.

The ICT workshops are currently involving the exploration of the Ultranet and personalising the children's pages. During the library sessions, the students are using shared text to focus on strategies that efficient readers use. During the maths projects sessions the students are exploring the concepts and understandings of space including symmetry, shape characteristics and transformation.

The Zimmer Twins

This week in our afternoon ICT sessions the students have been using the website, The Zimmer Twins. It is great for supporting children in video editing and literacy.

Wordle

This week the children will do a word study on adjectives (describing words). They will use Wordle to publish their findings. Here is one I did about myself.

Tutpup

This week in ICT sessions in the library with Tim, the children will continue to learn how to access the blog and open the links in new tabs. We will be using a website called "Tutpup" which is very useful for practising basic number facts. The link can be found in the "Useful Websites" section under mathematics.
