 Room 11 have been making a timeline in their class. They had a to pick an event that was significant to New Zealand between 1915-2015. They found out so much. The video shows a small snip it of their recordings. They found a photo of their event then recorded their voices to describe what happened at that time.

Grandparents Day

Lesson Objectives:  We are learning to reinforce prior learning by been able to: 

• take a clear photo
• record voices clearly
• use a range of familiar apps

Apps Used:  Aging Booth, Chatterpix, IMovie

Today I worked with the  Year 0-1 classes.  They are learning about the 'olden days' and we are having a Grandparents Day at the end of term.

We discussed as a class, all the things we love about our Grandparents and brainstormed a big list on the board.

The students came up with lots of different ideas.  The older children wrote down some ideas.

I then took a photo of each child.  I used accessories such as glasses, hats and scarfs to add more affect.  I then used the 'aging booth' app to add 'years' to their looks.

They came up really well and the kids loved looking at their new image as well as their class mates.  There was lots of laughs and shrieks!

I then got the students to record their voices to the photos after we put them on 'chatterpix'.

I finished by putting all the chatterpix photos onto an iMovie for the whole class to watch and share with our Grandparents.

The whole process took a bit of time but the students really enjoyed it and the final results were great.  I'm sure their Grandparents will be very impressed when they see the movie!
