ICT Conference

This week Room 3 participated in our very first Kilbirnie school ICT conference. It was such good fun. The senior children planned and led the workshops that we attended. We learnt about all sorts of topics - how to make our own comics on comic life, how to get better at kicking or throwing, using a video camera, how to use the internet safety website - super clubs plus. Along side many, many other things. At lunch time we had fun playing with some new technology - some ipads and our new x-box kinect!

A great big thank you to all the staff and students at Lyall bay and Normandale schools who lent us their equipment to support our big day.

MATHLETICS!

This week we are taking part in a free trial for the site Mathletics. So far, we are loving it!!
IF we like it enough, we are able to subscribe to it (through school) for a reduced price. It is certainly testing our maths skills. These are some of the statements from the children about Mathletics:

"Mathletics is like two things in one - it's fun and it's learning!"
"I like playing against people from all over the world"
"I have got perfect scores on some of my levels already!"
"I can't wait to have another turn on mathletics"
