Wow!!!! What an awesome assembly we just had! I was so proud of Room 7, they did such a great job with the item and seeing the response from the rest of the school was worth all the hard work that we put in. All the children who spoke did an excellent job and the random jokes worked well....except the one by Meg. Grrrrrrr I'll get her back! 

Here are a few photos.

     

Wallwisher

Room 7s Wall by Brent

Just had a bit of a fiddle with wallwisher (click the link above). It's a bulletin board application where you can post sticky notes. Not quite sure what sort of other areas you could use it in yet, but I set a task for the children to go onto the board and post their opinions about digital classrooms. They are limited by the amount of characters they can use (160) so it becomes an interesting exercise in editing! For a first time run through, not a bad effort, some children have come up with some interesting opinions, but I can see that with more exploration wallwisher could be worthwhile!

The greatest class assembly item ever!!!!

With 3 weeks to go we are well into the swing of our item. Somehow I always manage to bite off more than I can chew! This year...an all out song and dance number. The song- "for once in my life" Michael Buble style. The children are creating a dance to go with it, full on partner dancing too! I am constantly suprised by the things they can come up with, its looking spectacular already. We have to add the band yet (miming with authentic instruments) and we are going to be working on posters to display before hand. We will probaby use photo shop for the photos as I want black and white jazzy type qualities. Heres an example I did of myself....well mostly myself....a bit of michael buble here and there! It keeps freaking my kids out!
