Ideas for our Inquiry

Take a look at Room 9 Einsteins Blog and their Go! Animate about World Environment Day.
Could we use this idea in our inquiry?

Ipads and Animation

Yesterday afternoon a group 10 children from Room 5 got to have fun making animations on the ipads with Carol.
We learnt how to set up the camera and use 'onion skinning' to check we hadn't moved the object too far. We also learnt we had to take a lot of photos to make even a small animation. The children cooperated in pairs to develop their own animations, creating the storyline, titles, voices and sound to go with their animations.

See below our afternoon of great work. We think we would like to try more of these in the classroom.

Mihimihi

Today Te Hawiki helped Room 6 with their mihimihi and he thought this would be a good way to share it with us in Room 5 as well.

Kimono Doll Bookmark

Today we made Kimono Doll Bookmarks with Karen. The kimono is a traditional dress of the people of Japan. We are enjoying the story Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr.

Snow Fun

I just found the photos Heather sent me of her great snow man. He looks really impressive Heather - great job.

Ellie's Birthday Present

Ellie got a new kitten from the RSPCA for her birthday. She has called it Maestro. She chose Maestro because he played with her finger when she poked it in the cage. What a great idea to get your kitten from the RSPCA Ellie.

Hope you had a great birthday Ellie.
