Peer assessment

Room 3 are reading Room 17's blogs and completing their peer assessments on google docs.  

They then shared the google doc back to the student they assessed.  

They also posted a positive comment on the student's blog. 

An excellent way to share our learning outside our classroom and receive feedback.

A good article about coding.

Cool Tools to Help Kids Learn to Code

Movie Making and Collaboration

The children are learning two skills in this digital and collaborative innovation.  They are learning to collaborate and work with children they don't usually work with, as groups are made at random.  They are also learning how to use iMovie so that in the future they can use it to demonstrate their learning.

This is a link to the children's first day of movie making in class.

This is the link to the children's second day of movie making where they used storyboards to create their movies.

Maths with Scratch

Paul Crowhurst came and taught our class how to use the Scratch coding programme. Coding is like learning how to write a good book. We all know how to play computer games but we don't know what goes into making those games. Coding teaches us that.  We are learning how to programme our 'sprite' to make a rectangle and a triangle. It's harder than you'd think!!  The children really enjoyed it!
