A new game maker is at http://www.popfly.com/ Try it out. I can help you to install the plug in for your Macbook. This might be a fun way to teach the visitors at the Exhibition about your research.
When we get back from Sumbawa, Grade 5 can try making an eBook about your exhibition study. First make it using iPhoto photo album and then save as in print PDF. Then you can upload to this website which converts it into a flipping eBook. Nice!
In English this week, we will finish our book about Life at SWA. We will also make a group video recording about the focus research that each group is doing for the PYP Exhibition.
Spelling has finished for this year. We will need to spend more time getting ready for the PYP Exhibition which will be on the 28 and 29th May.
