Cybersmart Monsters

Cybersmart lessons with Koka Amie.

We have been learning how use different tools in Google Drawings. We created our very own monsters using shapes, lines, patterns and colours. We also practiced using some of our short cuts to copy and paste -  to make sure our monster body parts remained the same, and to save time. Some of us recorded a short clip using Loom to talk about our monsters. 

Yoga

Morning Yoga

On Wednesday morning Room 2 were fortunate to have Koka Georgina's friend Aisling come in and teach us Yoga. We practiced a few yoga poses, breathing techniques and meditation. At the end of the session we felt relaxed and calm ready to start our day. We hope to see Aisling again.  Thank you

 

 

            

            

            

Production 2019

Kiwi As

Elgin School Production 2019

On Wednesday night we had our school production "Kiwi As". We performed to famous NZ songs, celebrating all things kiwi. Room 2 danced to "Puppet on a string" and Tumbling down". We dressed up as Buzzy Bees and Kiwi Fruit. Miss Poi's mum made our costumes.  

Here are some of our stories. 

Reading

Reading

Room 2 enjoy reading! For the past 2 weeks our classroom has been the library while our actual classroom has the ceiling replaced. We're lucky because we have lots of books to chose from. Today we had to pick a book, take a pictures then use the "voice typing" tool to talk about our book.

                                           

High Frequency Words

The younger students are practicing their high frequency words. They can read these and spell them super fast! 

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!
