Milk in Schools

We had a visitor (Tracy) come to our school to share with us the importance of folding our milk cartons properly so they can be sent off to be recycled into some really cool things, including; books, roof tiles, desk tops ...

We then wrote stories about this.  Here is one Dakota has put into an explain everything presentation for you.  Also here are some photos of us practicing our folding in the afternoon.

Certificate winners in Week 11 Term 1 2016

 Below are the winners of Room 5 & 6's certificate winners this week.  We had a number of students who got certificates for excellence in attendance.  Well done, this attendance is what has been helping you reach your learning goals this term.  All of you have made such fantastic progress in all areas.  Mrs Stevenson and I can't wait to see what you can achieve next term!

We are 'World Famous!'

Today we had a special visitor, so we decided to have a quick assembly in Room 2.  He talked to us about how we are 'world famous' and 'world leaders' with the use of our iPads and Chrome books.  We thought this was really exciting as we know we are learning lots with our iPads and enjoy sharing our learning with others.

Mrs C also gave our some certificates to some of our class who have been working on Lexia and who have moved up a level.

Sequencing Publishing - Cruz

This publishing uses time sequencing words to sequence my story.  In my story I used first, next, and finally.

Bush Walk Cameo - Cruz

This week we were planning to do a cameo based around walking up Te Ahu Ahu but it was to wet to go so we created some Cameos based round us going for a walk in the bush area just beside our classroom.  Mrs Gardiner gave us an example that encouraged us to think about what we could see, hear, smell, touch (and taste).  Here is my published story.

Our writing goal today were to make sure we had spaces between words and missing lines.

Learning to use Explain Everything

This week we have been learning and practicing how to use 'Explain Everything'.  This is an app on the iPads, that we use to record our learning so we can share it with others.  We also had a collection of children work with Mrs G to create some videos that allow us to REWIND our learning and revisit how to access and save our tasks.

Thank Cruz & Taylor for modeling and recording this.

Thank Mollie and Taylor for sharing this.
