Wow! What a fantastic morning 3/4W had at the Rosanna Library on Monday. The students were involved in different Augmented Reality activities that really blew our minds! Augmented Reality is a type of virtual reality that aims to copy the world's environment in a computer - a bit complicated, but all you really need to know is that it's AWESOME! The students loved seeing dinosaurs, deep-sea creatures and NASA spacecraft in 3D, but their imaginations really went wild when using the iPad app 'Quiver.' After colouring in their picture, they used the app to make their creation come to life - cries of "this is so cool!" rang out through the library!
Each class at Rosanna Primary will visit the library over the next few months to share in these experiences and see what else the library has to offer. We are so lucky to be building this relationship between the library and the school as it allows us to extend our resources beyond our own library. In the future, we plan on visiting the library for a variety of purposes, including researching different inquiry topics.
Keep an eye on the school newsletter for information about special events at the library - there's always something exciting happening and most of the time - it's free! In the meantime, why not sign up to the library yourself?! It's a great place to visit and relax with a book!
