STORYBOARDING SUCCESS

Today we started planning for the 'superhero' stories we are going to create in Comic Life.

Before we started, we looked at comic books and comic strips in the paper.
We saw how the story is set out in panels and it's often a 'conversation' between the characters.

We also looked at the storyboarding the big kids did at 'Kids Connect' and watched their finished 'comic life' movie.

Now we knew 'how' to storyboard. All we needed next was our story!

We collaborated with a partner on creating the pictures and the text.
Mrs M and Mrs R were 'blown away' by our clever planning.

Here's just a few of the exciting comics coming your way soon.
The adventures of SUPER GIRL - will she succeed in getting others to 'co-operate'?

Water Girl - when water's being wasted, it's Water Girl to the rescue!

Will Waterman stop the evil Flameman from encouraging others to play with fire?

We had so much fun but there's more to come!

Stay watching for our finished stories in Comic Life.

MATHS WIKI

This week, we made our first contribution to the PRIMARY MATHS WIKI.

We are collaborating with some other Year 1 and 2 classes from Canada and America.

All of us are posting pictures of what we have been learning about in Maths.

We have started with PATTERNS - patterns in the environment and patterns we have made.

Take a look at what we added at PRIMARY MATH.

VOICES OF THE WORLD

1M, we are going to be part of this worldwide, collaborative project - VOICES of the WORLD.
This exciting project was created to unite children around the world using voice and sound.

Each month we will be given a task to create an audio file that will become part of a VOICES of the WORLD podcast.

The September task was to use a VOKI to introduce yourself in your own (native) language. Everyone had to say...

'Hello, we are from (school) in (country) and you are listening to

Voices of the World'.

Here is one of the vokis already created

Get a Voki now!

and you can listen to the September podcast from the player below.
Do you recognize any other languages being spoken?

You can view all of the VOKIS at the VOICES of the WORLD wiki.
We are too late to have our voices included in the podcast, but when
we've created our VOKI, it will be added to the wiki.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT BEING PART OF THIS PROJECT?

RED GROUP FUNNY FACE STORY

Yesterday I made a funny face. My friends did too. We framed our funny faces. My funny face was freaky! My funny face frightened my friends. We had fantastic fun making funny faces.

AND NOW FOR OUR POEMS....

HOORAY! LET'S JUMP AND CHEER

CELEBRATE THE CLEVER POETS WE HAVE HERE!

Poems about the number 'seven' by BILLEE-JANE

Seven is sporty

Seven is sleek

Seven is the number of the week

Seven little mice running through the fields,

Seven kangaroos hopping in the hills,

Seven magical fairies dancing in my yard,

Make a rhyme about number seven,

It's not very hard!


Another poem about 'seven' by ALISTAIR

Seven iceblock sticks,
running to their surfboards.

Come on girls,

get your leg cords.

LAURA has a poem about the number 'six'

Six chirping birds

in the tree
They are as loud

as they can be.

"Rain, Rain - Soccer Train" by BEN

Me and my dad are going to soccer training

I hope it's still on because now it is raining.

A 'sun-smart' poem by PATRICK

Each day at school

we have some fun,

We show we're cool

wearing hats in the sun!

PLANNING FOR OUR PHOTOSTORIES!

Sometimes when you start something new, it can be scary because you don't know what you need, where to be, what to do or how to do it!
But when you know the routines, then it's easy.
So this term, we have been learning how to 'DO' school... to learn the routines so we can be CONFIDENT and CAPABLE LEARNERS.
We have decided to make PHOTOSTORIES to explain our routines.
Before we can make our Photo
Stories, we have to know what we are doing.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN!
Here's the PROCEDURE we followed.

1. We listed all our routines.
2. We formed groups of 3 and chose a routine. Each group had a 'Team Leader'.



3. We discussed what the routine looked like. We listened to each other and shared ideas. We took turns and used words like: "That's a good idea" and "What do you think?"

4. We drew up a PLAN showing ALL the STEPS in the routine.

Now we know what photos to take for each PHOTOSTORY and what ORDER to put them in.

Mrs M said each group demonstrated GREAT TEAMWORK.
WE WERE ALL LEADERS AND COLLABORATORS!
