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.

Blogging Competition Results

 We have finished our blogging competition.

Here are the final results...

Toroa

Today we were learning how to search for images on our iPad and 

then insert them into Explain Everything.

We searched for Toroa because one of our blogging buddies is Team Toroa in Wigram.

We used Dictation to help us search.

We found some really great photos. 

Here is some of our work.

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. 

Blogging Competition Update

 

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?
