Our new learning Journal App
We have been exploring a new learning journal app called "SeeSaw". This will be great for the kids to show what they have been learning in class and talk about it. Mrs Souness can share the learning with parents to see privately, or to the blog to share with the world. The students can look at the progress of their learning over the whole year.
Here is Savana talking about her learning. Well done Savana!

Our swimming Video.
With summer drifting away, we have finished up swimming for the term. Here is our video of our swimming highlights. We used the video to self assess so we could see what we needed to work on, what we were doing well and our next steps.
Swimming Memoir - Kain
In summer of 2015 when I was 8 years old we did swimming lessons.
Some days it the water was warm some day it was cold.
When I did backstroke I feeled the water dripping over me.
When I flicked my arms up.
It is hard trying not to bump into other people.
After we did lesson we had free play.

Swimming Memior
We have been learning to write memoirs in class. We have chosen to write about swimming. We have to write our memoirs in the past tense, sequence our memoirs and add detail to our writing like what we could smell, or hear, see or feel.
Gemma, Aniska and Maddie have published their writing with the app Book Creator.
Thank you to the Totara kids that helped us out with learning about the Book Creator app.

ICT in the classroom
Today we have been busy beavers getting to know the ICT in our classroom. We have been using Google Classroom on the iPads and laptops to share our reflective writing about Athletics. We have posted them as comments under the Athletics post on our blog. We would love it if you could reply to our comments. We used a PMI as a plan to guide our reflection.
