Animation

This week Koka Amie taught us how to make our own animations using Google Slides. We picked it up super fast, experimented with different shapes and colours and even had a go at grouping and ungrouping our creations. Here are a few of our animations. The awesome dinosaur above was created by Phoenyx (Year 3)

Last week Room 2 had  a Mystery Kai Challenge. We were blindfolded and had to taste than guess the food. Some of our kai was yummy - like the chippies and chocolate sprinkles. Some of the food was yucky - like the Greek yogurt.  

Museum Visit

Museum Visit

Yesterday Room 2 visited the Museum. We were learning about the land before people arrived in Gisborne. We had to put birds, and creatures like bugs and insects in the right place on the landscape board. I had a brown moth. I liked searching for the taonga around the museum too. By Bruce

Yesterday we went to the museum. We had to wait outside because we were too early. We got to climb the trees, and I watched the water fountain. We also played tag. We went out the back and had oranges and a drink of water. My favourite part of our visit was searching for the taonga around the museum because I like exploring. By Dre

Winter Poems

Winter Poems

This week we created Winter Poems with Koka Amie. We had to think about the words we wanted to use, then drag and drop them into our poem. It was a little tricky. Next we had to use Loom to record ourselves reading our poems. 

Winter Slippers

Winter Slippers

My Oma (nan) knitted our class slippers so we can have warm feet when we're at school. She made 50 pairs, so my class got half and my sisters class got the other half. She has knitted slippers for other schools in Whakatane and Napier as well. I think my Oma is very kind because she makes slippers for other kids and wants them to be happy.

Autumn Poems

Cyber Smart Mahi

Autumn Leaves Poetry:

This week we created Autumn Poems during our Cyber Smart lesson with Koka Amie. We had to "drag and drop" different words to form our poems. We also had to use Loom to record our poems, then create a link from our slide to our video.

Matariki stories

Last week we started looking at different Myths and Legends about Matariki. We had a go at retelling the stories in our own words. Here are a few of our stories...

Maui Slowed down the Sun. Tama - nui-te- ra, the sun, was angry and went to hide. Without the sun it got cold. It was winter. The people missed the sun. Matariki sang songs and brought back the sun. Everyone was happy. Matariki is a time when we remember and celebrate. By Swyft

Maui and his  brothers slowed Tama nui te ra .The sun was hurt and hid away. It was cold and all the people were sad. Matariki and her sisters sang songs and brought Tama nui te ra back. By Waiariki
