Team 1 has been building their stories into song to help them understand and remember how technology was used at the Zoo. Here are two examples showing their understanding of how a pulley was used in the bird enclosure.

Dressing Up Time

So, what do you do when you have done all your work and want to have some fun... Be like Class 20 and do some 'Dressing Up!' Mrs Belt's lovely Mum has made us all these wonderful costumes! Thank you so much Grandma Carol!!! We all had a fantastic time giving them all a test run!

Number Pictures

Today in maths Francis was asked to show his teacher his understanding of number 5. He put 5 insects on to his 10 square, took a photo, re-sized it, saved it in Explain Everything, positioned the picture and then wrote the number 5 using his stylus! Good job Francis!

Class 20 wrote a wonderful story about the playground. It was so nice watching our clever students re-craft the story and move from using the word 'sun' to 'sunshine' and finally to 'suns' rays.' Wow! Class 20 are really 'thinking.'Today we sung our story, both as a class and all on our own!

Ilaisaane counts to 5

Today Ilaisaane told her teacher she wanted to work on counting to 5 and recording it! Good on you Ilaisaane for being so confident and wanting to share your learning too!

Picnic Time!

Today we designed a story around a picture from last years picnic. Ideas and words were gifted to the children and a basic story developed. As we sung the children added in more bits and pieces to make their story more interesting. Listen to this wonderful story from the beautiful children in Class 20.

They've arrived

Today our iPads arrived so all the children now have their own 'named' device. We went on to the field to see if we could follow some very precise photographic directions and then talk about what, why and where we took our photos. One direction was 'find something red on the field and take a clever picture.' Check out this 'lost hat' and the ten little toes below it! Great shot Nature. Your photo is balanced, creative and you followed the instructions!

The Hungry Brown Horse

After seeing the horses in the paddock next to the field, Class 20 wrote a story.

"I can see a hungry brown horse wearing a sun coat, eating the grass, in the green paddock."

Ilaisaane's Necklace

I made a necklace using lots of alphabet letters. I asked to take a photo so I could share it with mum and dad. Can you see the photo I took of my work on the TV?

Nature's Reading

After I read my book and completed my activity I took a photo of my work and shared it using 'Airplay' on our Apple TV.

The house Kahurangi built!

I made a polydron house for my family for maths today. I took a photo making sure I could see the house and all the people...even the cats tail!

Number 2

Casshius chose number 2 and counted out two beans so he could show his friends what two things looked like. Good work Casshius! Let's try doing number 3 next time!

Rocket House

I made a rocket house today. It's going to go to the moon. Ms George thought it might be going to my magenta coloured star!

iPad Heaven

There's nothing better than sitting under the tree sharing photos of our friends and, of course, the neighbours horse!

Binoculars

Look at me...I made some binoculars on my first day at school!
