Museum of Transport & Technology

 We went to the Museum of Transport and Technology to look at all the old things there.

We made an iMovie about our trip. 

We had to learn how to save photos from Google Photos and then use them in iMovie. 

We learned how to make a title slide. 

We recorded our voice as well.

Museum Trip

As part of our Inquiry unit on The Past, The Present and The Future, Room 6 took a trip to the Museum of Technology. We had a wonderful time exploring all the olden day treasures. There were heaps and heaps of things to look at. These are just a few of the things we saw.  Hudson was super excited to find a soap brand with his name! 
 

Toroa

 One of our blogging buddies is Toroa Year 1 class at Wigram School.

We asked them what Toroa meant and they sent us a reply...

Kia ora Room 6,
Thank you for your comment and questions about our learning. We have learnt lots of things about Toroa. 

• They mainly live around New Zealand. 
• They are white and black birds with a yellowy beak. 
• They can fly really fast. 
• Toroa eat small fish and squid and can live for up to 60 years! 
• Their wings can be up to 3 metres wide.

We wanted to see how wide their wings are so we measured 3 metres on the floor with some students. We found out that 3 metres is as long a 2 and a half children.

Have you ever seen a Toroa?

Blogging Competition Update

Last week we started our blogging competition. Here is an update.

How can we get more people from other countries to visit our blog?

Blogging Competition

Room 5 and Room 6 are having a race to see 

which class blog can register the most visitors 

and 

the biggest number of countries that the visitors come from.

On our class blogs we have a globe which counts the countries 

and a counter to keep track of the page visitors.

We will update the scores each week on the class blogs.

Click through the slides to see our scores from this week.

The Holidays

Today we used Explain Everything to create a video about our holidays. 

We learned how to do an image search in Explain Everything and to use dictation for the search terms. Then we inserted text by using dictation as well. We included food we ate, places we went and activities we did. 

 Mrs Torrie called us Explain Everything experts today because we could open and new project and rename it all by ourselves. Then at the end we could save our project to our Cybersmart folder in our Drive. Ka pai! 

What did you do in the holidays?
