Year 3 students in Room 20 have been writing narratives and publishing their stories using Book Creator on the class iPads.

Students could choose from a photo prompt as inspiration for their planning and used a story graph to plan their narratives. For many, the most exciting part was publishing their stories using the iPads. On the day of my visit, the classroom was a hive of activity with students typing and selecting images to add to their books. It was wonderful to see so many students immersed in the writing process.

I love thinking about what I’m going to do. I love making my ideas into stories, and using the iPad is much easier. I can organise my story better.
-Cian

We get to use the iPads which is fun. I’m writing about a controller that broke.
-Praveen

I enjoyed putting pictures in because it gives a lot of detail to the story. My favourite sentence is the first one because it’s really good. Writing helps me spell correctly and it’s fun.
-Oscar

I enjoyed using onomatopoeia because it gives the story a lot of excitement. It’s pretty easy to use book creator because you can type and print it and it turns into a book.
-Rocco

I liked using a photo to help me with my writing because it helps me be descriptive. I like writing and using suspense. Solving the problems and feeling like I’m on the adventure is exciting.
-Harriet

Generally I love technology so combining it with writing is really exciting. I love reading back my writing as a reader and adding the pictures to bring my writing to life.

It was wonderful to see year 2 students engaging in some construction on Tuesday of week 7 as part of their Design and Technology learning. Students researched, designed and built models of a new playground and their final products were wonderful! I thought the most exciting part would have been their research of playgrounds across our school, but from the smiles on their faces, I could see that the construction element of this task was the most enjoyable part. The classroom was a hive of activity as students used a range of resources to complete their designs- and the clean-up was pretty quick too! Well done to Lydia and the students from room 14.

I worked very hard on my design. Being able to build my playground was my favourite part since we get to use our hands a lot. – Kitto

I like design and technology because it’s creative, and I can get wild in my mind. – Ava

I don’t like design and technology because I get stressed in my mind thinking of ideas. –Sean

I like making because you get to make different things. My favourite part was making the sandpit because it’s very squishy. – Max

We’ve been making a treehouse. First we made a design. We had to make a design of what we wanted our playground to look like. Chelsea

We drew what we wanted our playground to look like. I used bottle tops, pipe cleaners, fabric, cotton buds and cellophane. It was fun to build my playground, and I liked working with my friends.- Maisie

I made a treehouse, water pit, sand pit and foam pit. My favourite part was the making because making is really fun.-Eddie
