Learning how to use Explain Everything on our iPads

Today we have started learning how to use Explain Everything on our iPads.

We learned how to find the EE app,  choose New Project and then Blank Canvas.

We learned how to use some of the tools in the tool bar.

The tools we used were the Draw Tool and we also changed the pen colours. We learned we can use the Undo button if we make a mistake or we change our mind. 

We practiced writing our names and tried drawing a picture of ourselves.

Here are some of our EE creations.

Room 2 Assembly - The Three Little Pigs

 Room Two had assembly on Friday 31st July.

We did a play called 'The Three Little Pigs.' 

Our actors were Shaun (the BIG BAD wolf),

Frank, Hunter and Axle-Jay (house of straw) 

Jonathan and, Preston (house of sticks), 

Tatum and Abigail (house of bricks), 

Choyzen was our narrator. played in front of an appreciated audience, our tamariki were enthusiastic and the BIG BAD wolf played well into his character. Well done Shaun. Our reader Choyzen never missed a beat. Well done.

Bee Bots

Miss Simeon bought Bee Bots for the school, so we decided to have these Bee Bots in our class. Today we learnt to code, using direction cards and instructions.

Hungry Caterpillar Story.

Today we read the story about the very hungry caterpillar.

The Hungry Caterpillar Puppet Show by Room 2

In week 8, room 2 worked hard to perform a puppet show based on our shared reading book, The Hungry Caterpillar.
Room 2 students worked hard to make the stage and puppets and learn how to read the story clearly so that the puppeteers knew when to hold the correct puppet up.

Animating with Explain Everything on the iPads

Lately we have been learning about the Kawa of Care using iPads. We know that we need to hold the iPad with 2 hands. When we carry the device we do the hug and hold (bear hug).

Today we learned about using Explain Everything on the iPads. We made an animation of Axle. Axle is new to our class today. We really enjoyed the animation making, and realised that when we are recording our voice we need to make sure things are quiet in the background.
