=Room 2 - "Our Inquiry Learning about Wasps"=

We are a composite Year 0-3 class. Using books and internet sources we tried to answer our own questions about wasps. We used an older "buddy" from the senior class to help read the information and make sense of it.

We used __KIDPIX Deluxe 3__ to present our information:
 * 1) Draw a wasp using what we now know about insects. (3 body parts, antennae, stinger, colours e.t.c) We evaluated and revisited our drawings several times to make them more accurate.
 * 2) Practise reading our questions and information (from draft writing). When we felt confident we recorded the information and checked that it was clear.
 * 3) The teacher put each person's work together to create a simple movie.

Here is a sample: media type="file" key="Online wasp compressed.mov"

Room 3 My class had created rhymes with a relieving teacher that I wanted to put music and images to (using Garageband) I wanted to use the rhymes as a cataylist for making a music video.My long term plan is to create a music video for times tables.
