Presenting using Tellagami

Over the past two weeks we have been learning about newspaper reports. Last week we wrote a report about an event from our class book and this week we have written reports about a real life event.

Last year, a giraffe was killed in a zoo in Copenhagen and fed to the other animals! Find out why by watching our news reports.

We would love to see your comments after watching our amazing reports.  This idea came from Lee Parkinson's blog @ICT_MrP

Coding!

Shark Class are really enjoying learning how to code and write instructions.  When the codes do not work it is really annoying but when they do work it is AMAZING!

We are using learn.code.org So far we have completed the introduction and The Artist and we are currently writing code for Flappy Birds.

If you know any other coding websites or apps please let us know! 

Skitch newspaper instructions

This week we are starting our unit of work on writing instructions.  We have started off by using Skitch to highlight the features of an instructional text.  

Over the next two weeks we will be using Book Creator on the iPads to create our own instructional books.  These will then be uploaded to iTunesU for the whole world to download and read! 

Life Cycles in Pic Collage

Today we have been learning about the life cycles of plants and animals.  We went round the school and took photos of each stage of the life cycle of a plant.  We then added these into Pic Collage to show the cycle.

Newspaper reports

We are reading The Firework Maker's Daughter and we have all written newspaper reports about Lila getting kidnapped.

Here are our reports on display in the classroom. We will be creating more news reports in a slightly different way next week! Follow us by email so you don't miss out! 

We are listening!

Today we have been listening to our interviews on BFBS while writing our newspaper reports!

Newspaper features using Skitch

Today we have been finding the features of a newspaper report.  We took a photo of a story from the Newsround website, imported it into Skitch and then found the features.

Here are a few examples.

What do you think of our great work?

Pic Collage in maths.

Today the children have been using Pic Collage to find numbers around the school.  They then used the greater than and less than symbols to order them.
