Comic Life +Ricky

This has been a big week in our class, as students have been completing their mini-project using the application Comic Life. The travel brochures they have made are very attractive - check back to see samples!

We worked on this project as a way to develop understanding of the research process. Copies of our research process time-line can be found in the front of the social sciences duotang. You can help your child by asking them to explain the process and why we need to proceed in a certain way.

As well, we finally have our Voicethread finished - it was hard to find time and help to get the audio recording done. I have tried to embed it in our blog, but could only get it to appear in the homework blog. Click on the homework image on the right, then hit the "play' arrow to have a look!

Enjoy the weekend,

RICKY RACCOON IS HERE!

Today our class welcomed Ricky Raccoon, a puppet that is travelling around the province visiting English schools. We have him for 3 days.

In those three days, we need to put together a part of Ricky's project. We must share information about our school and our town.

What should we say?

Tonight I am changing the homework. Please talk about what makes our school special, and why our town is a great place.

Please write your ideas in your yellow exercise book. We need to work on this right away, since Ricky leaves Friday!

Let's see what we can put together!
