Some South Africa Facts

We have been learning how to use google drive the last few weeks with Miss Walters in class and Mr Meyer on a Friday afternoon when we go to the computer room. We each have our own file that Miss Walters set up in our class drive.

We know that first we have to find our named folder and click on that before we go anywhere else, because then it will automatically save it into our folder! We tried using Google Docs and now we have practiced using Google Slides to make a class presentation with all of our facts on it!

Have a flick through our slides to see if there are any facts we can teach you about South Africa! We have done lots of research using the internet and now we have created a slide show to share our knowledge!

We hope you enjoy it!

Factfile Friends

Last week on Friday Room 6 went to the computer lab and went on google drive. 

They went onto their folders and did a google slide about South African facts. Room 6 wrote one fact each and had to write by their name. Some people had pictures and others didn't.

This week on Friday they are going to share their facts with the syndicate. Then four people are going to share one fact each about South African foods. Room 6 is also going to teach the syndicate how to say the vowels in Afrikaans.

Room 6, good luck!

Perfect Prezi!

In Room 6 we have been practicing using the laptops and tablets to use a new online site called Prezi. It allows us to create a moving presentation online to show our ideas. We have mostly been using them independently while Miss Walters is reading with our four reading groups. 

Since we have been learning about instructions in our writing, we have been reading some instructions too! The Giraffes reading group read some instructions in their school journal and gave us step by step instructions in their own words and put them into a prezi!

Have a look at the instructions they wrote after reading the text!
