Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Yesterday Miss McLeod's reading group finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Today we did a Padlet to record our ideas about our favourite part out of the entire book and why. See this below.

Have you read the book? It's quite different to the movie. What is your favourite part?

Truth or Lie? Can you guess?

Wow! I can't believe that we've done 3 weeks of online learning!

In Miss McLeod's writing hangouts, we've been learning how to write comics using a programme called Pixton. In our first lesson (3 weeks ago) the children got to create their own avatar. Their avatars all got added to our 'class photo'. (See below)

We've now made 3 comics and each week we've learned new tricks and got better at making them. This week we made 'Truth or Lie' comics. The task was to create a  talk show in a comic with the guest having to say a truth and a lie and the audience (blog readers) need to work out which is the truth and which is the lie.

Here are some below...see if you can work out which is the truth and which is the lie in each!

Online Learning- Day 1 with Miss McLeod

What a fantastic 'first day' of Term 2- learning from home.

I had a lovely time connecting with all the children who joined for my writing and reading sessions and my Q & A/ check in session. It was so great to see all of your happy faces and I look forward to tomorrow!

Here is a screenshot of some happy faces from my writing session.

Today in writing we begun making a comic using Pixton. Stay tuned for some finished products on Friday!

For reading my class really enjoyed listening to me read Chapter 1 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Then we played a Kahoot (with some teething problems). It was lots of fun.

Congratulations to our top three scorers! 

1st place: Lucas

2nd place: Jayden

3rd place: Jed

 

Close behind was Cameron and Cole!

Remember if you missed our learning hangouts for today- these are recorded and uploaded to our Google Site.

Google Hangout

Hi everyone!

It was so awesome to see all of your happy smiling faces this morning on our Google Hangout- especially because we were expecting to not be able to see you all!

My favourite part was hearing about what you'd all been up to! I love that most of you are continuing some form of learning from home! I especially impressed with those of you who are all updating your blogs regularly as well.

We miss you all and will organise some more Google Hangouts for after the holiday break. Remember though, that you can still email us if you have any questions and we will reply as soon as we can!

A little reminder for your next Google Hangout to make sure you are not in your bedroom- remember your cybersmart lessons!

Keep up the great stuff you're doing during this time everyone!
