Maritime Museum Visit

Room 1, 2 and 4 all visited the Maritime Museum in the Auckland CBD today. We had a great time including going out on the Ted Ashby, an old yacht, and watching a cannon be fired to show it was 12 o'clock.

Inside the cabin of an 1840s ship, this one rocks like a real ship!

Scratch

                               This is Scratch, it is a website where you can make thing like games. Right now I am making the game flappy bird on scratch. The first game I did is actully a game I remixed which was  candy crush but now I am making flappy bird. What I am doing is looking on youtube to learn how to make flappy bird so far I am half way there.

Wordtoons

In the last two days Room 1 has been learning how to do Wordtoons, a technique where you turn a word into a picture.

This is one by the inventor of Wordtoons, you should try it at home.



We started by creating a dog, then we did a spy and then we had a go at creating our own name into a Wordtoon. These are some of the works that we drew, see if you can find the names hidden in these pictures.

Border Control - Biosecurity Activity

Our class held a customs check, we all had to take our bags. Mr Walker and Mr Cartwright (Room 3) had put contraband into our bags and our customs officers searched our bags to see what they could find.

Mini golf course in the classroom

Today we planned & built a mini golf course in the classroom. We filmed it for the latest #NZschooltimelapse project, this is the unedited footage.

We were learning about planning, building and problem solving. Also we got to demonstrate how well we can contribute & participate in groups and practise our thinking skills.

I'm eager for 2 room 1 students to edit this & put some titles, music & effects on the film, maybe next week...

Cameron Rota

Today, Cameron Rota came to school and sang five songs. Aisha and I were so stoked!
It was an awesome experience. We enjoyed listening to him, and we know you will, too!
