A Little About Us...

Welcome to our blog! We are a family of 19 angels in our first ever year of school at Elm Park School, Pakuranga, Auckland in New Zealand (Aotearoa)! We love rainbows, puzzles, discovering new games on our ipads and story writing! We hope you enjoy strolling through our blog and please do leave us a comment and suggestions of what you'd like to see!

Power Writing!

We've started power writing in Room 5 - we need to write down as many words we can in 1 minute. Ms. B puts on the timer on our Apple TV. We can think of our own words, or use our classroom word wall and displays to write words we know.

We are proud of how many words we can write in a minute! Our goal is to keep writing more words as we get better at power writing!

Ukulele Entertainment!

J.L. brought along his Ukulele on Tuesday and started our day with a couple of tunes! He did SO well! Maybe we can all learn to play the Ukulele in Room 5, and have a jam!

Can you play the Ukulele? What songs can you play?

Creating stories on ipads

We have been lucky to have Room 20 - a Year 6 class - to be our buddy class. 

Last week, they helped us to publish our stories on Book Creator on our iPads..... this was so much fun!

We enjoyed drawing our pictures and transferring them onto Book Creator - an iPad app. Then, we gave our front cover a title and typed our name. 

Tomorrow, we get to start writing the actual story! Stay tuned for more pictures and videos of our newly published books. We love being clever authors!

Have you created a story or a book on an iPad? if so, we would love see or hear about it!
