The Lost thing

We read 'The Lost Thing' by Shaun Tan and decided to write narratives about our own lost things.  Aja has written an action packed story filled with bullies, a minion and a robbery. Listen to her reading the story and see if you can find out how the character in her story used chillies to stop the bullies.

Hineuwera and Aja's Book Review

Last Tuesday was Tuakana Teina day.  Room 10 worked with their buddies from Room 8 to create a presentation about their favourite book.  Aja worked with Hineuwera to complete her presentation.

Tuakana-Teina Time with Room 6

This week we joined up with our buddy class to learn how to use google presentations.  We decided to create a presentation showing the words we had thought of for our blend of the week.  Our buddy from Room 6 showed us how to make the first slide, then they supported us as we had a go at doing it on our own.  They were great teachers and we can't wait to have a go on our own next week.

Here are two of the completed presentations.  More will be up soon.

Netbook Learning

Last week was our first week with our new netbooks.  It was a lot of fun using them and we have learnt a lot.  Here are some of the Room 10 children sharing what they have learned so far.

Bees

The Giraffes reading group read an article about bees.  They have used puppet pals on the ipad to record some of the facts they learnt about bees.  Do you know any bee facts you could share with us? We would love to hear them.
