Coding the JS Library with Emoji

Posted on July 16, 2016 by juliab

Students explored the potential of images as a way of communicating through the use of emoji.

In Week 1 classes read the first shortlisted picture book.

This is an emoji message of two book titles in the JS Library.

Students also went on a Lit Trip using Possum Magic and the Google Map organised around books and the continents.

and we have classified the Non-Fiction using Emoji.

Week 1 Literacy Celebrations Term Three

READ AROUND THE WORLD CHALLENGE

We have been exploring the annual Book Week theme through the lens of the PYP. The theme is Australia My Story Country which we have adapted to exploring story through World Stories (using the continents as a way to organise these countries).

We have selected books from each continent that can be shared over the course of the term.

Week 1 JS Library Makerspace

Explore the world through BeeBots

Students programmed the BeeBots to travel the world after answering a series of country and continent questions in a group of their choice. These students successfully were able to execute a programme and troubleshoot. The BeeBots and the world map are available each break for students to continue their world exploration.
