Sticky Question

 This week we are learning how to comment on blogs. 

We have to be positive, thoughtful and helpful.

We have to write it like a letter and we must remember to write our name at the end.

We are going to answer this sticky question today to practise commenting.

Which one would you like to do? And remember to tell us why.

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

 

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.
