Writing on the iPad

Today we started using Typewrite to write collaboratively. We each used the same document to write out stories. Mr Gibson could check what we have written and help us fix it. We found it weird to see people typing on the iPad when we were.

Writing about China

In writing today we watched some videos about China. We then had to write about what we saw and knew about it. It was lots of fun to do some different research about China.

Anica, Levi and Aya wrote this about China. What else do we know?

In China there is the Great Wall of China and it was made a long time ago.

EEKKing for writing

You may be asking What is EEKKing? Well it is simply elbow to elbow, knee to knee. It's that's simple.

Over the past couple of days we have been using this to brainstorm what we are going to be writing about. 

As you are aware today was dress up day so we were lucky enough to EEKK in our dress ups. Check out the photos below.
