Learn. Create. Share.

We unpacked the Learn. Create. Share. part of our toolkit to find our all the ways we can Use Language as we learn.

Learn - to find out something new, to gain a skills we didn't have before, or practise something again to get better at it. E.g. We are learning to use the stop-motion app on our chromebooks to tell a story.

Create - to make something, to build something, to invent or come up with a new idea or object. E.g. We are creating stop-motion animations of our collaborative, narrative, writing.

Share - to show other people our learning or creations, to tell someone about something we have learned, to teach someone else what we can do. We can share orally, on the blog, in pairs, to our class, or school, or parents.

We had an afternoon of Learning, Creating and Sharing. Some students used Powtoon, animation, lego, Puppet Pals or Scratch coding to learn a skill, create something with it, and share it with others.

Spelling in Room 9

We have been engaging all our senses to help us to enjoy spelling new words, and to work on spelling patterns. Sometimes this means moving around or creating or building spelling words.
Check out our spelling photos!
