BYOD

We are encouraging children to bring their own devices so that they can have immediate access to their ePortfolios, Studyladder, Mathletics, and Spellingcity this week, as well as specific apps. Mrs Gordon will allow internet access for the devices during school time.
If your child does not have their own devices, they will be able to use one of our school devices. We have almost all-day access to five iPads, and lots of use of computers, and lap tops throughout the day, plus two class iPods.
We will post photographs and videos of how children are using these devices on our class blog. Please feel free to add comments or ask questions about how these devices are helping children with their learning.

Robbing the nest

Look how sneaky this player is as she robs the yellow team of their ball collection. When time is called, the team that has the most balls in their nest wins the competition. The yellow team ended up with 4, while the sneaky green team ended up with 12!
