Pages with Audio in Year 4

Speaker, bottom right, shows an audio recording is attached.

Audio recording editor.
The students in Mr. Spilcker's class continued their learning of the Unit 'Beneath our Feet' by developing a report using Pages app on the iPad. The class learned to evaluate templates and utilise the text and image place holders on them to insert researched (from usage right permitted sources like www.photosforclass.com or www.pixabay.com)  or photographed images relevant to their unit of study via the Photo Gallery. Further, the students learned to insert audio to their report to emphasise the concepts they learned, specifically in this lesson describing the changes and processes they can see in a landscape.


In addition they learned to label key landscape features on maps as well as the parts of a map using the shapes tool. The class will now reference the TWLH chart on the class padlet wall, their websites researched previously and their notes from the incursion by the Geologist to complete their reports. Well done class and looking forward to seeing your reports.

Creating Data Games with Microbit in Grade 6

A student screen casting and sharing their code. Some students change the LED display to their own rock, paper, scissor symbol.  If/else logic in green. Data tables in Pages app incorporate many of the features of the Numbers app for organising and representing data. The students in Mr. Dowding's class continued their learning of data in Maths by creating a rock, paper, scissors game with Microbits. The class learned to use if/else logic to create the code for their game which included drawing their own symbols for each option to appear on the LED screen. The choices ranged from letter indicators for rock, paper, scissors to totally different symbols for the student's own game creations. The students were keen to share their algorithms by screen casting their code developed with block code language for all the students to see. The students then looked at using data tables in Pages app to collect three sets of data from their rock, paper scissors algorithms to

Innovating Talk for Writing Stories in KK

Image
T he students in Mrs McCulloch's class continued to learn their talk for writing stories by using the draw and tell app for the 'invention' stage of their writing (or in this case oral story telling). Having previously 'imitated' Brown Bear, Brown Bear and then 'innovated' the story to create a class text or 'Stripy tiger, Stripy tiger' the students were assisted to create a Draw and Tell video of their own story with visual prompts for the 5 senses contained in the innovated story e.g. I see a... I hear a.....etc. This enabled the students to showcase their learning of repetitive story structures, use describing words and their understanding of their 5 senses (as they have been learning for Science.).

Data Collection, Representation and Analysis in Year 5/6

Image
The students in Mr. Dowding's class learned to collect, represent and analyse data from their Microbit Step Counter (Pedometer) tests to make an informed analysis about which part of the body provides the most reliable reading of steps. The students inputted their tests into a normal spreadsheet before learning how to create a bar graph of the data. The students then learned to manipulate the X & Y axis and other labels and values on their graph to make it easier to analyse. The class then used Pages app to import their graphs to highlight their analysis, describe it and record this.
