Buddies helping with Phonics

This week the Year 6 Buddies helped kinder to use some of the websites the teachers had found that help us learn phonics. The Year 6 learnt how to use a del.icio.us account(which is a way to save and organise websites-the teachers had put phonics sites into a 'reading' account.) The year 6 then helped Kinder to learn how to use the sites...and how to use the interactive software for our interactive whiteboard device. The time went so fast...and everyone was on task and engaged the whole time! We should do more of these activities...thankyou buddies!

Week 5 Term 2

We used some other software called Kidspiration to make an information picture about the things we like. We had to show the FOOD, the TOYS and the ANIMALS that we liked best. We used picture libraries and dragged the pictures into the three boxes.

Week 4 Term 2

We used some special software to make a picture of our face. We labeled the parts firstly by dragging in some labels and then typing the words ourselves! We are so clever!!

Week 3 Term 2

Mother's Day was coming up so we wanted to make some special Mother's Day messages for our mums. Our buddies helped us-especially when we wanted to write our messages! We love our Mums!!!

Week 2 Term 2

We started to learn about the program 'Paint'. We experimented and tried to draw ourselves. It was hard at first getting use to the touch pad for a mouse on the laptops, but Mrs Manning & Mrs Sillis were really proud of our efforts!

Week 1 Term 2

Well, we started up again this term, but this time with Kinder Red. We talked about the rules for using technology at our school with all the children in Kinder Red.

We then played on 'Netty's world' to remind us of the rules

Week 11

This was a week where we could look back on the term's work, check that it was all finished and evaluate our progress. We gave ourselves a rating as to how we felt we went. Now Mrs M has to make sure she gets all our great work up on the wiki....looks like a holidays project!!!!
