Animated Educational Learning

This afternoon, we had a go at creating an animated learning opportunity for our buddies. We focused on teaching numbers or letters and animated the process of how to do this. We are hoping to catch up with our reception buddies so they can use what we have created.

 

 

Layered Animation Scenes

Building on from our learning yesterday, students took their understanding of transparent layers further by creating various scenes. Have a look at the creativity!

 

 

Layered Keynote Animation

Today we explored more animations in keynote. Inspired by Paul Hamilton, 5/6 EH and MS learnt how to add transparent components to an image. We layered this over the top of videos and added our own moving animated objects. Have a look at some great name animations and other scenes we created.

 

Personal Inquiry Presentations

Today we started sharing our learning from our personal inquiry this term. Students had to choose a topic of interest, create 5 open ended questions, research the answers and present this in the form of an oral presentation. We had some students begin today and did a fantastic job in sharing their learning. We are looking forward to hearing the rest of the students present tomorrow.

 

Animated Gifs

This week we explored how to create animated gifs using keynote. The teachers were lucky enough to work with Paul Hamilton on Friday where we learnt new ways in engage students and use technology in the classroom. Have a look at some of the amazing animated gifs that our students have created.

Dear Parents,

On Friday 20 August, we are having a dress up day where students are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite character from a book.

Numeracy

In numeracy this term, 5/6EH and MS have been learning about perimeter, area and scale. We have been designing our own house plans, where we had complete the following. Have a look at some of the finished designs. Some students will be using the website 5D planner to create their designs.

 

 

Friday 23rd of July

Hello bloggers,

Welcome to Day 3 of home learning, and more importantly… FriYAY! 🙂

Today is going to look a little different for your children as we are going to be experimenting with a few changes to their day. Morning check in will be conducted through a live stream where your child will be able to see and hear your teacher, but will not be able to video or voice record themselves. Children will be able to engage with the conversation via replying to the thread this live feed is on.

Similarly, we will also be finishing our day with a live stream to once again check in and see how their day has gone, especially with the changes made.

For today, students will also not receive their learning in one teams post or email. Mrs Harrison and myself will be posting their learning for children in accordance to the lesson time identify on the daily timetable. This will mean students will need to be using their initiative, and be very vigilant in sticking to the times provided as they would in a normal school day.

All this information will be explained to your child during our Live Morning Teams Check in.

We hope this changes will enhance your child’s learning whilst working at home, and moving forward during this period of time 🙂

Please have a look at today’s timetable below:
