Mrs Jones' Reading Groups

We are learning the routines of Reading and learning how to work in our 2021 reading groups.  This week students worked collaboratively in their reading group to create a DLO (digital learning object) in response to the text that they had been reading.

Here they are...

Please leave some feedback for them.

Having fun learning how to use Jamboard

Mrs Jones' Reading class have been learning how to use a new Google Drive app called Jamboard.  Jamboard is a little bit like padlet and it is so easy to use.  You click on the sticky note, write your text and then you can change the colour of your note.

In Reading we used Jamboard to write down all our prior knowledge about cat's whiskers.  We did this all at the same time on the same Jamboard.  We had a few issues with people deleting other people's notes but it was mainly because we were learning how it all worked.

This is our prior knowledge about cat's whiskers.  You can see we knew quite a lot to start with.

Then after we read our text about cat's whiskers we worked in small groups to record all the things we had learnt about cat's whiskers. 

Here are our group Jamboards.  You can see we learnt a lot of new things about cat's whiskers after reading our first text.

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?

If I could talk to a snake, I would ask it...

Today in reading with Miss McLeod (online), we read chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It's called the Vanishing Glass.

After we read the chapter, we played another Kahoot and then we did an activity where we had to think about what we would ask a snake if we could talk to it.

Here are the questions we would like to ask...

What would you ask a snake if you could talk to it?

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!

Welcome to Term 2

It is great to get back into some learning (even if it is at home online).
Today Mrs Jones' reading groups (10 that joined the Google Hangout) read a story on EPIC called "Memoirs of a Goldfish" and then they did a quiz on EPIC that Mrs Jones made.
These are our results - 2 people got everything 100% correct!!  Great work Tovie and Son.
