Storytime!

Hi All,

You all jumped head first into the storytelling application! Remember that they are all based on the same story but you are able to change certain details to make it unique. Check out the first few that are below and discuss which aspects are the same in the stories and which parts are different.

Happy Reading.

The Solar System!

Hi guys,

I know that you have all been working hard on your planet powerpoints in class so I found some 'They Might be Giants' videos about space that I thought might inspire you.

Enjoy

Can you tell a Fairytale?

Hi all,

If you go to this fairytale link you can enter in certain details like names and places and it will help you create a story. They are quite amazing. See how you go and we can read them out to the class. Just let me know when you have finished it and I can show you how we save it.

You can also read the one I made up. It's called 'Fifi and the King'.

Drawing with a mouse

Hi All,

Just before the holidays we went into the Digital classroom to make a class book about our Art work from the Art Attack. We were trying to re-create what we had learnt in a digital form using Kid Pix. Some found it quite hard to manipulate the mouse accurately to draw what they wanted. I have found a site that helps you to draw and make a story at the same time.

Class Update

Wow! It has been a long time since we have updated this. School has just gotten away on us. We have been busy beavers in Room 26. We are going to show some of the art we have been doing in class in preparation for the Art Attack that is coming up in a few weeks. We have been reflecting on our artworks throughout and giving each other feedback. When they are posted it would be great if you could give constructive feedback too. Watch this space.

Romero Britto

Today at school we talked about the artwork of Romero Britto. He takes everyday objects and turns them into fantastical pieces of art by decorating them with colourful patterns. Take a look.

New Class Bunny!

Hi Everyone,

I have just put a Class Bunny down the bottom of the blog in response to Phoebe M's comment. If you click more you can even feed it carrots. Does anyone own a bunny at home? How do you take care of it? Does anyone have any other pets at home?
I don't have any!

Also, if you have any suggestions for what we can call our new rabbit, leave a comment and we can vote on which one to use. I wonder how Bugs Bunny got his name?

Have a great weekend!

Ruggerland

Olly told us about a cool website called Ruggerland. You might have seen Rugger on Small Blacks TV. He helps out the All Blacks. We looked at the website today and there are some cool maths games and other things that you can do if you sign up. A great lead up to the Rugby World Cup! Check it out!

Same But Different

Hi All,

We have a theme of 'Same But Different' that we are looking into during the year. We have been looking at what makes us the same but different in our class since the start of the year. We are also communicating with a buddy school in Canada at the moment to find out what different things they do to us. Check out this video that shows how we can do the same things in a different way to make a difference. Watch out though because it is an advertisement so sorry for the plug at the end.

Multiplication Video

We are learning about Multiplication and Division in Room 26. We found this funny video that we can relate to. We find multiplication really confusing sometimes. We are going to take time to practise the concepts at school and at home. We may bring home some cool games using calculators.
We are learning that times means groups of.

Happy Watching.
