\"yr-5-whiteboard-oct-2016-3\"Year 5 are extremely happy to be using their class interactive whiteboard this term.\u00a0 A particular favourite at the moment is the Big Writing program where the children can learn about how to use punctuation, sentence structure, connectives and openers in a fun, interactive way. They also love the widget timer, which guides them to complete creative writing tasks within a certain time frame.\u00a0 It plays classical music in the background and offers vocabulary choices to help stimulate their ideas.<\/p>\n

Our whiteboard differs slightly from the other board we have in the school and the children have enjoyed finding out how to use it and are genuinely excited to explore all the different and wonderful features they can work with.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the children\u2019s thoughts on their board:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sound is really clear and good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI like how when you write on it – it\u2019s so easy and you don\u2019t have to press hard.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI love The Big Writing program as we can listen to music as we work\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith our old whiteboard the pen didn\u2019t work as well and this board is much clearer\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we can put a timer on it for our work, it helps me pace myself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
