Tupare Gardens Virtual Tours

This week most children are ready to seek review from others on their online tour of Tupare gardens before making final changes. Then their tours will be ready to share with the wider audience using a QR ( Quick Response) code to direct viewers to the tour.

We brainstormed some ideas on exactly what to give feedback on. This is what we came up with...


  • Information - is there enough?
  • Is the information actually correct and accurate?
  • Does it have at least 3 of the base criteria?
  • Does it have the yawn factor? Or does it have the magic 5% factor?
  • Does it have correct spelling, grammar and punctuation?
  • Have we used the correct vocabulary for the purpose of the tour?
  • How good was the tool we used to make the tour?
  • What did we think of the layout and design?
  • Is there too much reading?
  • Colours - do the colours we have used make it easier to read/view?

Apostrophes - SPLT Group 1





We are learning to use apostrophes in the correct place.



Our prior knowledge:
  • Used in shortened words = taking out a letter and putting in apostrophes
  • Usually used before an ‘s’


Our Key Questions…
  • What are the main rules for apostrophes?
  • Where are apostrophes used?
  • Why do we use apostrophes?
  • When do we use apostrophes?


The Task:
Use our search skills to find and read about the rules regarding apostrophes.
Decide on the important rules and write into our own words. Add these rules to our personal SPLT document.
Create a (short!!!) Google presentation for the rest of the class that teaches them about the apostrophe rules.

A great website we have found is...BBC Skillwise Bitesize
