This week we had Harold the giraffe come to visit us at school and went inside the Life Education Van. Harold taught us about how we can look after ourselves by making healthy eating choices.
Elmer The Patchwork Elephant
This week we have been looking at celebrating differences inside the classroom and how each person is unique and special in their own way.
Today we enjoyed listening to the storybook Elmer The Patchwork Elephant. After we finished reading the story we created and decorated our own Elmer. We enjoyed painting and had fun mixing different colours together to create new ones. Below are some of our Elmer’s we have created so far.
Room 2 Camp Day
Today had our camp day. We had lots of fun creating our own tents outside. Before we went outside we looked at different pictures and videos about tents and how to build one. We learnt the importance of teamwork and worked together to create our forts and tents. After we finished making our tents we enjoyed eating our yummy ice blocks inside our tents.
Making Stories With Explain Everything
Today in Cybersmart we had a go at making our own stories using explain everything. It was really fun to use the clip art to make up the background, and characters for our stories.
Next time we think we would like to create our own drawings instead of using Clip Art.
Check out Dillon’s
Check out Raytheon’s
We’ve been inspired by Kacy and Angela at New Windsor School
Today in Cybersmart Mr Goodwin showed us a really cool video by Kacy and Angela from the Ako Hiko Film Festival.
We think that we can have a go at creating something similar in our class using Explain Everything on our iPads.
We have started this week by creating a background, and hope to add to our projects soon.
Keep an eye on this space 🙂
Keeping Safe Constable Cyrus
Today Constable Cyrus came in to teach us about road safety and how to be safe around the roads.
Drama with Room 5
This term we have been doing drama with Room 5. We have learnt about freeze frames and explored the drama techniques of body and movement to create different machines.
Friends of 5!
Today in Cybersmart we were practicing downloading EE projects off our class site onto our iPads, then uploading them as images to our Google Drives, before sharing them on our Blogs all by ourselves!!
Here is some of our work that we shared.
