 This term we have started to get into using our Junior iPads on a regular basis to support our learning in literacy and Numeracy. I was really pleased to hear how most of Ruru used Skoolbo in the holidays.
We have also begun using Seesaw learning journal to record our learning Ruru children are excited for you to see what they are doing at school.

 

 

 

We also use our class Mimio interactive board for many engaging activities, we especially love Kids Dance for fitness!!!
