Kidnapped! By LJ

LJ has written a frightening story about a kidnapping.  He has used powerful words to create a picture in the reader's head.  Great work LJ.

Making Porotaka

We have been reading and learning about Matariki this week.  As part of our reading programme we read and followed instructions (with the help of Nana) to make a porotaka.  It was a little tricky but also a lot of fun. Here is a Jadaleigh explaining how to make a porotaka.  She used educreate on the ipad to make her video.  

Here is a video showing us as we made our porotaka.

Pl Words

After our buddy session last week with room 6 some of the children have created a presentation all by themselves.  Siosifa, Helen and LJ have all made their own presentations on our blend of the week pl.  Can you think of some more pl words?

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.

Our First Google Doc Expert

Today we were learning how to create a new google doc.  The bears reading group picked it up quickly, so quickly that Miss Kirsty was able to sit back and relax while Demetrius showed the wolves how to create a new doc.  While Demetrius was teaching the wolves he recorded himself using with the screen recorder on the quick time player.  Great work Demetrius!
