How Bizarre!

We have been inspired by the song How Bizarre, written by Pauly Fuemana (OMC). Room11 has used the music and written our own lyrics to write a modern day legend about Tutanekai and Hinemoa.

Te Wharenui

As a part of our Te Marae unit, Room 11 has been learning about the importance of the wharenui and the significance of the different parts of its structure. We used the Educreations app to show our learning. Check out the rest of our learning on our Te Marae page.

Tips for Writing a Comment on a Blog.

While trolling the Internet looking for resources for our Te Marae unit I stumbled across this video clip made by a class in the United States. It got me thinking about how  Room 11 needs to improve the quality of our comments. 

Watch the video and think about the improvements you need to make. 

What did you learn? What will you change?





Post a comment discussing the things you already do well and the things you will do now to improve your blog comments.

Now it's time to put your learning into practise, click on the links below and leave a quality comment on at least 3 of the classroom blogs on the list. Your challenge is to try and create a conversation between you and the bloggers. Ask questions or connect their information with the learning we have been doing or your own experiences. Perhaps you could even blog the class that was our inspiration for this learning.

p.s. Blog grades 3, 4, 5 classrooms.

Pepeha

If you have looked on our Te Marae page, you will know we have been learning our pepeha. We have used the Tellagami app to present them. We are so proud of how they have turned out. We would appreciate your comments on what we have done well and things we could improve on.

Learning our Times Tables

Many parents asked for practise examples for their children to learn their times tables at home. The website provided is great as it is timed and you can choose the level of difficulty. You can also select which times tables or basic facts you want to practise. Click on the graphic to take you straight to the website. Have fun with your tamariki :)

Te Marae

Challenge Unit

Room 11 and Kauri Block are getting prepared for their marae visit this term. We will be learning marae protocol, our pepeha and about the meaning behind the different parts of a wharenui. 

You are able to see our learning units by visiting our guided reading and our Te Marae pages.

Cross Country

Vignette Writing

Room 11 has been busy writing up a storm about our cross country experience. We were inspired by the story "Cowpat Girl" written by Jessica Hemmings and used her writing as our model. Our "playing hard" learning was also incorporated into some of our writing too. We used Youblisher to publish. Click on the picture to read our ebook.
