Early Years Bookclub

Would you like to communicate and share ideas with students from Kangaroo Island and Adelaide in South Australia, Sydney in New South Wales, Kaiiri in Far North Queensland and Jupiter in Florida USA? Then join the Early Years Book Club on OzProjects!

The Early Years Bookclub is an OzProjects space for early years learners up to the age of 8 years to explore online books and share class thoughts and ideas. You can introduce yourself to these participants in the Introductions Forum and then read nine fanatstic stories online.  This is a great interactive whiteboard shared reading activity.  Each story has links to activities and a forum in which to discuss the story, give your opnion or answer a question about the story such as "Should Jack have sold the cow for a bean? Why?"  Activities include making some puppets, building a snowman online or playing some online games to learn about rhyming words.

If you need any further information contact Cecily Wright here on me.edu.au or email ozprojects@edna.edu.au
