Learning to read a grid

Yesterday and today we learned about reading grid coordinates with the wonderful work created by our student teachers.

In the activity we had to fill in the table and to show the positions of our Pokemon on the grid.
We loved the activity, we specially liked that it used our art.

Here is a video of us working hard at our maths.

We didn't get time to write our stories about the Pokemon on the grid and their positions but will be doing that early next term. We hope our student teacher might come and visit so they could help us and maybe even play a game of battle ship if they are not too busy.

Preposition Videos

On Tuesday we had an amazing time making movies using the preposition we have been learning from our wonderful student teachers.

We started out by watching the example which can be found on this site:



After watch the example all the children were excited to get going. They were given the option of making their video as an Explain Everything using photos and voice recordings (Which they do a lot) or making it using multiple short clips into a movie in iMovie.

Everyone loved making these movies. A group stayed in class with Mrs Carruthers while another group went outside with Mr Vogt. It was cool to see so many different creations.

Here are two examples:

Prepositional language

Today was the first day using the site created for us by our University of Auckland student teachers. This site focuses on position and orientation, today we looked at prepositions.

If you click the image below you will see the wonderful site they made:

We had so much fun using these awesome activities. Today we watched the introduction videos, played awesome Kahoot and did the first prepositions activity. 

Here is what the kids had to say:

What a great time we had doing maths. We enjoyed the activities so much fun moving the objects around.
