Evidence required: 2 or more examples of the children using ICT
Rang a 5 took part in the Breakout EDU digital game of “school daze”. Only one group broke out in the 30 mins. Breakout EDU brings the 4 C’s alive, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication. Successful participants work together to solve clues to open the digital lock. It is not as easy as it seems as there is a digital clock counting down from 30 mins while you work.
5th class made a video to explain the rules of 4 square to the younger classes.
5th class used the iPads to find 2D and 3D shapes around the school. They found some great examples.
Rang a 5 have been observing the local weather using a barometer, thermometer, anemometer and rain gauge. We have also been observing the clouds and logging them on the Globe observer app.
We explored many areas of the science curriculum during this fabulous workshop. The transfer of energy from one object to another, circuits, the power of air amongst many others. It was a fantastic show that the whole school enjoyed.
The children thoroughly enjoyed hour of code this year. They found some of the activities more challenging than others
5th class used the Makey Makey to explore circuits and whether objects were good conductors of electricity or if they were good insulators.
5th class were very lucky to be able to visit Microsoft’s Dreamspace. They were given a small tour and some history of the company. After this they worked on programming their own microbits and later working collaboratively on a project using Paint 3D. They created some amazing projects.
