Dragonflies

 When we were studying the river, we had a poem for the week about Dragonflies.

This week in our Cybersmart lesson we completed this Explain Everything project about Dragonflies.

Listen to the class read our poem together.

Here is Mack's work. He knows lots about Dragonflies.

And here is Olivia's work. She also knows lots about Dragonflies.

Puppet Show

Today we were crating Puppet Shows from our reading book with Explain Everything.
We had to take photos of the book and use the scalpel tool to cut out the characters.
Then we made our characters talk and move.

Here is Mack's Puppet Show. 

Can you see how carefully he used the scalpel tool? 

Ka pai to mahi Mack!

Retelling a Story

Today in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we were retelling a story.

We used our reading book out of our book bag.

We took photos of the characters and used the scalpel tool in Explain Everything to cut them and get them off the page.

The scalpel tool lets us be really, really careful with our lassoing.

Here is Olivia's work. Her book is Father Bear Goes Fishing. Have you read this book?

Can you see how carefully she has cut around Father Bear?

I like her clear voice too. Ka pai Olivia!

Learning about the letter 'P'

Today we were learning how to download 
Explain Everything to our iPads.

We did the letter 'P' today.

We used our stylus and held it like a pencil.
