Term two - lockdown and back to school

 During term two, we chose our own topic to look into.  This made sure that the children were engaged and interested in their learning.   Here are some of the amazing creative pieces of learning that these children have done.

Noah S had some incredible research about Greek Mythology

 

 Kinae worked on her science experiment:  

 Leevy learnt some sign language:  

 Meesha create an awesome model of a Maori Pa:  

 Syrhys made a pick a path story:

Heroes and Villains

Kia ora.  This term we have Heroes and Villains as our theme.  We have been researching our own  choice of heroes and villains. Check out the learning tasks and reflections that Nicole has done.  We are in awe of the effort she has put in.  We particularly love the dramatisation of her information report about Ned Kelly.  It is in four parts and it is well worth watching all four to get the whole story.  Please leave a positive, helpful, thoughtful comment and tell us what you think!

Advertising - We are learning about making advertisements...

    WALT: to create an advertisement

SC: using language, symbols and texts through music, drama and digital and visual arts.

Things to consider:

• A name and logo for your robot.
• Writing an interesting script using: catchy phrases, interesting words, alliterations, onomatopoeia, etc.
• Your use of voice in your advertisement (make your voice interesting and exciting to listen to).
• The drama/acting in your ad.
• Make/use a jingle in your ad.
• Visual elements- screencasifying, props, etc.
• Location for filming
• Your audience- who are you selling to?

This is what Lenard, Taig and Alex S have come up with. We think it is pretty clever with a big dash of humour - what do you think?

The Binary Code

WALT: Understand digital technologies.

In our class we have begun to learn about Binary code.  Here are some of DLOs giving a brief explanation of the binary code.
