Team 4 Art Rotations

 Team 4 had so much fun during our Art Works Rotations. We made music beats, dances, photography and painting. In Ms Tumahai's class, we go to paint an emoji of how we were feeling at the time. 

Epro 8 Challenge

Room 11 got to do the Epro 8 Challenge this week. Their challenge was to make something that 

could be lifted. To make a crane was difficult, we had not heard of or seen this Epro 8 before. We tried our best with the little information Ms Tumahai gave us and it was a Challenge. We split into groups of 4 and carried this heavy case to space where we could start the challenge. We did well to communicate with each other but we were still confused. Ms Tumahai gave us a few suggestions which were helpful, and we were soon tying, tightening, pushing, pulling and winding things. None of our creations could lift anything but it was fun. 

 

Room 11 MoTaT Trip

What an awesome way to end a busy term. Room 11 went to MoTaT to learn more about 

coding. We got to code robots. We got to watch them race and crash, it was a lot of fun.

After coding robots, we got to explore MoTaT. We went to the old village church and Moi Moi said the karakia and we all joined in with him. We rode on the tram it was such a fun day.

Cyber Smart in Room 11

We have been busy over the last couple of terms trying our best to be cyber smart on our Chromebooks.

I have certainly learned much more about doing things quickly and more innovative. The key here is for the students and me to try to work on incorporating this learning into our weekly planning.

How to embed different digital learning objects

 Embedding learning into our Blogs

By Ms Tumahai

There are lots of different types of digital learning objects we embed into our blogs on a daily basis.

My favourite thing to share on my blog is my drawing.

The easiest learning to share is my writing in Google Docs, simply just Copy and Paste it from the Google Doc onto your blog. However, don’t forget to use CTRL + SHIFT + V so that it gets rid of the formatting. You can always change the formatting on your blog.

Take a look at the other ways below

                  

Touch typing in Room 11.

In Room 11 we have been learning to be amazing touch typists. It is really difficult. Nooroa thinks touch typing is hard. Norman thinks it is a lot of fun because he wants to type like Mr Goodwin. Diana-Grace likes typing club because it helps her to be a good typist and she tries really hard not to look under her book. 

 

About Me in Google Draw

 

This week, during our cyber smart lesson with Mr Goodwin,  Room 11 learnt how to use google draw. We learnt to resize images, use different shapes and fonts, and use google search to find images that relate to who we are.
