Last week, Primary 3 had the job of re-telling the stories in their reading books. Each group planned out the story, then made the scenes out of modelling clay. We took pictures of the scenes, recorded our narrations then uploaded everything to Windows Movie Maker.
All the groups have completed theirs now and they are on here for you to have a look at. Please let us know what you think of our first attempt at making Digital Stories!
Group 1 – Yummy Scrummy!
Group 2 – Webster’s Week
Group 3 – The Little Dragon
Group 4a – Yo Ho Ho
Group 4b – Yo Ho Ho
Group 5 – The Football Accident (this group made up their own story!)
Primary 3 are going to be learning about the Ancient Romans this term. The Ancient Romans lived a long, long time ago.
Before we started to find out about life so long ago, we thought we would interview older member of our families to find out how the world has changed since they were our age.
have a look and listen to our video below to find out what they said. Please leave us a comment to let us know what you think!
This week we didn’t read from our usual reading books. Instead we used group plays. Everyone in the group highlighted their parts in the play and practised them in school and at home. On Wednesday we recorded our plays and we’ve put them on here to share. Please let us know how you think we have done by leaving us a comment!
This week, we wrote about our most treasured possessions.
For our ‘Talking Homework’ we were asked to discuss at home what one item we treasured most.
We had to talk about how long we’d had it, where it came from, why we chose that item and what we hoped would happen to it in the future.
In class, we wrote about our treasured possession and included a description.
Some of us were able to bring the item into class and we took pictures of them. Others drew a picture of what it looked like.
We’ve added our pictures to our pieces of writing and we’ve put them on here to share with you. Katie’s is here, and others are included in our video below.
Today in class we made Friendship Cinquains. A cinquain is a five lined poem that follows a pattern. First of all we interviewed a friend to find out how they would describe themselves. We also asked them what their hobbies were and what makes them a good friend. We used the information to help us write the poems. We even asked them if they had a nickname to add to the last line of the poem!
Have a look below to see how they turned out ……. and leave us a comment to let us know what you think of our work 🙂
In 2007 Mrs P, a teacher in Australia, sent a copy of this book to Mrs V and her class. This term we’ve been using it for our book study. It’s about an Australian family who go on a three month caravan tour of their home country.
We’re really enjoying the book, but we had some questions about Australia and what it might be like to live there.
Mrs V suggested that we could ask Mrs P some of the questions on twitter
On Tuesday, Mrs V logged in to our twitter account and we began asking our questions.
We were all astonished when we realised that Mrs P was on twitter at the same time as we were, and she began to answer our questions as we asked them!
Later, we looked at all the conversations we’d had on twitter and we decided to make a classroom display so that we could share what we’d learned.
We’ve also turned our question and answer twitter conversation into a short movie so that we can share what happened here on our blog. We even added some Aboriginal didgeridoo music to entertain you while you read through the conversations we had.
Have a look below and please leave a comment to let us know what you think 🙂
Today we all went along to Callendar House to learn more about our Ancient Romans topic.
