More powerpoints - Part 2

Class Reporters!

The year 2 team are having class reporters for the next two weeks. Everyone has a turn at choosing what they will talk about. The talk or speech is for about 2 minutes and the rest of the class are listening carefully

Eva spoke first about the Kids Challenge that she competed in. Great speech Eva - you used expression and spoke clearly.

Your speech explained what children can expect if they enter the race!

Our next speaker was Max, who told us some very interesting facts about the planets and he even had some model planets to show us. You spoke very well on your topic, Max.

Daniels was our third speaker today and he shared a bird's nest that he found a while ago. Daniels was able to share where he found it and what it's made of. He spoke clearly and looked at the audience, which is not that easy to do!

Karearea Reading Task

The children in Karearea reading group worked independently on the iPads to do a character study.  First they read the book "Bend, Stretch and Leap" and identified Tommy as the main character.  Then they put the information they could find about Tommy onto a Pic Collage. They found a picture of Tommy in the book and snipped around it so that he was the only one in the photo. Very clever!

 

Some of the information has gone behind the heart - oh no!
I like the photo you chose of Tommy. Good work!

Your information looks great, Molly. You found out a lot about Tommy. Maybe you could have labelled the picture of Jessica so we know who she is?

Good work boys - You found some facts about what Tommy likes! You can practise changing the size of words so that important words are the biggest.  Maybe the title could have been bigger?

Emily, I like the creative way you have placed your information about Tommy. Great work! Maybe you could add a title for your work.  

A scary spider!

We have been practising writing our story straight on to the iPad. We know that there are some spelling mistakes but we had to save our work as a photo! We hope you can still understand what we wanted to say.

Starfish poem

We read a poem about a starfish this week.

We watched some video clips and learnt a lot of facts about starfish or Sea Stars, as they are also called.  You can also hear a story about starfish.

What do you think the story means?

Giant Stories

Today the boys and girls in Karearea reading group did some of their learning on the iPad.

They took photos of the giants and wrote about them.  They thought about whether all giants were the same or different.
