Describing The Water Cycle with an Avatar in year 2



The Year 2's in Mrs Allen's class continued their learning of the Water Cycle by creating an avatar style description of the parts of the cycle using Chatter Kid app. Firstly, the students created their avatar by taking a photo of themselves and marking it up with props, frames and filters relevant to that part of the cycle. Then they recorded their best description using their scripts and best reading emphasis. Finally, the Year 2's saved their avatar style descriptions to the photo gallery as a short video for each part of the cycle. Next, the students will overlay these videos to a Keynote presentation to bring them all together.

In pairs, the class learned to type their key questions and then record their responses using the audio recorder. Also, the students learned to edit their responses and string them together in one recording to match their response to the written question, thus considering the viewer of their work. Further, the students learned to use the drawing tools to draw what a shadow could look like based on the discussions they had with their partners and the class while recording their answers to their key questions. Next the class will draw the same shadow example using the shapes tool to help ensure their diagram is a model labelled diagram with a title, names and a line to connect the names with the parts of the drawing.
