I recently read on "Chartchums" of a teacher in the US who was using QR codes to share children's oral language with parents. I thought that this might be a great idea to try in Room 7 with our Greek Legends storybook.
After publishing their story for the class book, children were then able to record their story using Vocaroo, an online recording app. Simply by clicking the QR code generator in Vocaroo, and printing off the resulting code, we can then attach the code to the story. Anyone using a smart device (Phone or tablet/ipad) can open up our legend book, scan each code and read the legend, whilst listening to the author read it out loud too!
Many children have finished their legend and their recording, so come on into Room 7 and have a read and a listen. Don't forget your smart phone!

Sock Puppet Monkey Pictures
In Art this term we are exploring the technique of 'multimedia'. We have learned that 'multimedia' means using more than one art technique in a piece of art.
As an exploration of what multimedia might look like, we have plunged headfirst into our first piece of art for the new school term, "Sock Puppet Monkey" pictures.
We found out that 'sock puppet monkeys are a popular 'folk art' toy in North America. We don't have this tradition in New Zealand, but apparently in the USA and Canada, many children will own a sock puppet monkey.
Our pictures used the idea of painting a sock puppet monkey, then decorating the monkey with clothes. One compulsory element was to make and include a pompom.
Here are some pictures of us making our sock puppet monkey pictures...
