Reading

 This week we practised our reading by recording ourselves in Explain Everything.

We took photos of the pages so you can see what we were reading. 

Here is Mack's reading...

Here is Mana's reading...

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!

Shared Writing

We do shared writing every day.

We read our writing together when we have written it.

We wrote about Olivia going to the farm. 

Olivia is writing her name to start our story.

We are reading our story.

Nau mai, haere mai
