Happy Father's Day!

This week we celebrated Father's Day by writing stories about our Dads, singing a song and making these cards. We love the ties that we drew, designed and cut out. We are still working on publishing our stories, but in the meanwhile, we hope you enjoy our cards and the song we learnt!

Happy Father's Day to all Dads, Uncles, Grandads. We love you for everything you do for us!

Using Keynote to make Presentations!

Once again we were lucky to have our buddy-class, Room 20, teach us something new.

Earlier in Week 2, as part of our Inquiry, we learnt how to make a healthy sandwich. And boy oh boy were they delicious! Next, we wrote a sequence story about our experience. Later that week, Room 20 showed us how we can virtually present our new sandwich-making skills in Keynote. We loved animating our sandwiches and recording our sequence stories over it!

Thanks, Room 20!

Here are a few videos, enjoy!

Winter Trees!

Week 1 this term, we created some winter trees. We know it does not snow in Auckland, but we thought the trees would look pretty with some snow on them.

We are proud of recycling old pencils to use as tree trunks!

We also wrote some Acrostic poems to go with our trees.

Here is an example of our lovely winter trees, created by PJ. We'd love for you to visit us and check them all out!
