New learning, new tools

Cyber Smart Lessons: Week 9

Practicing our new skills...

This week during our Cyber Smart Lesson, Room 2 learnt how to use the "Voice Typing"  tool in a Google Docs, as well as inserting a picture using the "Explore" tool. We practiced making copies and renaming our mahi. 

We are super lucky, and received 10 new Chromebooks - now everyone gets to work on a device at the same time. So for manaaki today, we used the Chromebooks and used voice typing to record "how we show manaaki".  We also found pictures of the beach (using the explore tool) and talked about ourselves and the beach. Check out some of our mahi. 

Manaaki for Christchurch

Be Kind

Today Room 2 wrote manaaki messages around our school, to spread kindness and show our aroha for the people of Christchurch. Lots of people walking through our school thought the messages were lovely. It was nice to see people smile and appreciate our messages. Kia Kaha Christchurch. 

 

Introducing Room 2 2019

Meet Room 2 2019

This term Room 2 are part of the Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu program where we are paired up another class from another town - and we visit and comment on each others blogs. Our blog buddies are Room 7 from Glen Taylor School in Auckland. Last week we had a look at their class blog and left a comment. We also used Google Earth to have a look at their school, it looks much bigger then our kura. This week it is their turn to look at our class blog and leave a comment, so we thought we would create a slide about us and the things we like about our school!

Te Reo Lessons

Te Reo: Week 5 - 6

Room 2 and Room 1 have been having Te Reo lessons together for the past few weeks. We have been practicing using simple greetings and saying goodbye. Some of the Room 2 tamariki thought it would be neat to show their new learning by creating short video clips.

Kia ora and welcome to Room 2's first blog post for the year! This year Room 2 is made up of year 2's, 3's and 4's. Altogether there are 25 of  us! Yesterday was the first time this year that we were all at school before the bell - Miss Poi was super happy.

For our manaaki lesson we talked about the importance of being at school every day.
