Technology Challenge

On Wednesday we did a number of technology challenges. We had to work together and problem solve.

Our last Spanish lesson this year

On Friday we did our last Spanish lesson. Maria and Nicola were very impressed with all of the learning that has happened this year. We have also been impressed that Spanish has been a choice for you and you all come back every week. 

If you would like to access some of the songs that we have been singing you can access them here: Spanish Songs

Thank you Maria for all of your hard work and time. We have loved your lessons.

Workshops

Thomas's workshop was all about drawing characters.

Today children from Tautoru organised and ran workshops. 

There was a lot of interest from all the children to join or host a workshop.

Each workshop was lots of fun and very creative! Everyone had a great time. 

The children running a workshop showed excellent leadership skills.

Cooper and Theo ran a workshop on how to graffiti write.

At Gina's workshop we were learning to make our own necklaces.

Solly's workshop on how to make a catapult was very popular.

Georgina taught her group how to draw Pokemon characters.

Tommy ran a workshop on how to draw Avengers characters.

Edward lead his group in making games.

Yoshi's workshop was all about making paper planes.

Hour of Code

Today we did Hour of Code. It is a fun coding simulator. We learnt how to move animals and stuff to get to the right places. The levels get harder and harder. There are ages for each theme. You can learn how to programme video games.  Some of the games are Star Wars, Minecraft, Angry Birds, Flappy Bird and Frozen.
