Room One's Superblog - ANS 2019

Last Friday Room 6 made a surprise visit to our classroom to share their fabulous writing based on Mrs Oakley's book, 'Moo Cow, Kung Fu Cow'! Never ones to miss an opportunity, Room 1 children then dug our their writing books to share some work with the Room 6 children. It was a fabulous chance for the children to have a look at each other's work and enjoy some milk...

Last week the Senior Syndicate had 3 sets of lessons focused on different aspects of the new digital curriculum. Room 1 were learning about 3D modelling software and how to create useful things that could be printed out on a 3D printer. We watched a movie clip of an inventor in the UK who had invented a cheap mechanical arm for children that could be printed out on a 3D printer  and then we had fun experimenting with the 3D software app on the iPads.      

Last Wednesday the school invited parents and members of the community in to classes to see what the Juniors Discovery programme involved and to see the Seniors in action with Seesaw, Google, EPIC and Studyladder. It was fabulous seeing so many of the Room 1 whanau pop in for a visit. The kids were proud to demonstrate their learning.    

Last week our new Lucky book catalogue came in from Scholastic... we really enjoy taking the time to look through it and get excited about new books we could read! It is always great to hear the animated conversations that the kids have about their favourite books and authors.
