 Kia ora koutou from Room 2.

We have been very busy learning about our class routines and how to make friends with each other.

We are excited about our new spelling program called word  works. Our goal is to get our pet monkey to climb the spelling ladder by learning to say, read and write our words correctly. 

We go swimming three times a week and we are learning to float using kick boards and noodles. We love to be able to float like swaying jellyfish in the water.

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.
