Krishn's speech Powtoon

Kyla's speech

Here is Kyla's speech, now these girls are ready to teach some other students.

Isabellla's Service speech.

Here is Isabella's service speech. We have talked about using our own photos and thinking about the rule of thirds.

Lina's Service Speech

Lina has recorded her speech using Doink's Green-screen app on an Ipad. This was a different way for Lina to practice her speech and learn how to use a Green-screen app at the same time. We had a bit of trouble finding a suitable location for the recording but figured out the hall is pretty good when there aren't classes using it to play games. You'll see Lina's hair is a bit glittery, we are still working out the best settings for recording. Thanks to Isabella and Kyla for being great recording buddies.

Pass It

The first day of Spring felt like someone had left the freezer open do we had Pass It in the hall today. 

Mrs Nieuwboer's visit

Today Mrs Nieuwboer came to our class and she told us about what she has being doing with scientists. She taught us about all her jobs with the ducklings and trouts.
