Drumming

On Monday this week the kids shared their drumming performances with the rest of the school.  I was so impressed with them all, especially with their mastery of the rhythm that we affectionately nicknamed ‘the chaos rhythm’.

We have a video of their performance and I am trying to find a way to be able to share that with you.

Writing

This week in writing we have continued our focus on presentation but from a slightly different angle.  The kids have all been learning to use the accessibility tools on Office 365 via Glow.  They have been using dictate to ‘type’ their stories and then have been using immersive reader to help them check and edit their work.  I am astounded not only by how quickly they have been able to learn to use these tools but by how well they managed to conduct themselves during these lessons, as you can imagine a whole class on laptops dictating at the same time is not necessarily an easy feat but the kids made it look easy. Well done!
