We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

OUR STORYBOARDS ARE COMING TO LIFE....SLOWLY!

There is SO much planning involved in bringing our stories about our
SUPERHEROES to life.

We've had to look at each panel in our storyboard and decide how we are going to 'create' the picture or pictures for that panel.







We wrote our 'image notes' on the back of our storyboards.
















For some panels, we might need to 'google' some images, like these ones for the GREENBAG MAN story.



Or we might need to 'act out' some of the scenes and take a picture.

Here's a picture for a story about not playing properly with the toys at lunchtime.






We've had to really use our IMAGINATIONS and think hard about 'poses' and camera angles...

like for the battle between GREENBAG MAN and PLASTIC MAN.

Many of us are going to use ARTRAGE to paint over or add to a picture.
Here you can see Rubbish Girl in prison and GREENBAG MAN flying.
It's amazing how an ordinary picture can be turned into something incredible!

Today we explored the
RECTANGULAR PRISM.
It has:

* 6 flat faces
* 12 straight edges
* 8 corners


We then went looking for 'RECTANGULAR PRISMS' in our classroom.

We found...
Mrs M's STICKER BOXES,
the CUPBOARD,
a GAME BOX,
our TIDY TRAYS,
the COMPUTER TOWERS and a CAMERA,
the BOOK BOX ( if you cut off the legs!),
the DATA PROJECTOR,
the LAPTOP,
the LAPTOP CARRYBAG,
the MAGNETIC LETTER BOX

and the FIRE HOSE CABINET are ALL shaped like

RECTANGULAR PRISMS.

SEARCH for RECTANGULAR PRISMS at home. You will find them EVERYWHERE once you start looking.

LEAVE A COMMENT to tell us what objects you found that are shaped like

RECTANGULAR PRISMS or better still... take pictures and EMAIL them to

1mgems@gmail.com so we can post them straight onto the blog.

FUNNY FACES CAROUSEL


We were exploring the letter'f' today.

One of our 'workbook' activities asked us
to draw a FUNNY FACE in a photo FRAME.


We thought it would be FUN to make a
FANCY FRAME and take photos of us pulling
FUNNY FACES.

Here's the FINISHED slideshow.
