Video Conferencing

This is a new venture for the children and staff at Gearies.
We have been very fortunate to be asked to participate in a project linking Redbridge schools with Havering.
This week Y1 children have just had their first experience of linking up with Engayne Primary School in Upminister.
This went really well, with children sharing what their school were like and what each other enjoyed doing at school.
We look forward to our next link, where we will progress and find out more.
Y2 this week listen to a story about Trim the cat from The National Maritime Museum. The children enjoyed this experience and you could hear them saying that was really cool, as they were leaving the ICT suite.
Coming soon .........
Parkhill Junior School have been busy creating bedtime stories for our year 2 children.
Click on the video conferencing title at the top of the page to read their stories.
Y2 will be in conference with Y6 from Parkhill to listen to the stories written. They have been busy making/collecting props to add to the creativity of their stories.
On Thursday 29th November we are conferencing with nationalarchives, whereby we are going to be sharing our learning on The Great Fire of London.

Animation lunch time club

Angela and Umar liked creating a bowling animation.
We glued some yellow paper together to make the bowling lane.
we put the black card on the sides to stop the ball from rolling off the lane.

We used plastic skittles and ball.




How we made the animation.

We stuck blue tack onto our ball
We used a web came to film our animation with 2Animate
We moved the ball very slowly and clicked each capture.
When we finished we saved.
we enjoid it very much.

My feelings are like inpresive cause you took your time to read your poem.

From Calan

I enjoyed listening to the stories written by Parkhill children, they were fab.
My favourite one was about the kitten, when the mother cat said don't get your clothes dirty, the kittens did get there clothes. They went to there room and staed there for the rest of the day.



Thank you . From Lois.
