Using the ipads, place value and reading!

Year 2 have all worked really hard last week and are enjoying new challenges. 

We made some information videos/clips in Literacy this week. All of the children are getting used to using the ipads. 

They worked in groups and had to take either take pictures of Indian artefacts using an app called 'screen chomp'. 

Having imported the picture into screen chomp they could then record their voice. They had to describe what the objects were and what they could be used for. If they were not using screen chomp then they were filming with the Ipads. 

They had to work as part of a team to decide on who was going to film and speak. After the groups made two videos we watched them all using our apple tv. We all enjoyed watching or listening to the clips and the children learnt about Indian artefacts that they have not come across. 

In Numeracy last week we recapped on number lines and place value and will carry on with this using lots of resources to help us, including polystyrene cups! (pictures to follow this week)

This week we will be using our reading journals and so we will be keeping them in school during the week. 

The parent information session is Wednesday morning, I look forward to seeing you there. If you cannot make it then do not worry there will be a newsletter coming home soon.
