Olympic Inquiry work

I have seen some great work done by various children based on the Inquiry we have given them to work on. Take the time to visit some of the children's blogs listed on the left and see their great work.

Raphaela's advertisement

This is Raphael'a advertisement.  It is aimed at the spectators and the athletes of the Olympics.

Capernaum's visit to Techspace

We had a great morning today when we walked down to the Techspace and were introduced to some amazing things.
We used a touchscreen TV which had a touchscreen overlay on it and played a game called Bowman. We tried some Leap action games and played with the makey makey. We saw some great 360 videos of places on the West Coast and played with tinkercad designing things that could be printed on a 3D printer. The 3D printer printed a stretchy bracelet. It also made a nut and bolt that actually worked.
Everybody had a great morning.

Kia ora,

In Galilee, we are investigating and researching the Olympics.  We have a plethora of activities we can choose from.  One of these activities is to create an advertisement for the Rio Olympics targeted at spectators.
  Here is Netana's advertisement - tell us what you think!

During Maori Language Week we looked at the art of Warren Pohatu We used the skills we learnt in Maths to enlarge his artwork and we then produced our own. Our art included a koru somewhere in the design. Here are some photos of the process:

Introducing the year 3 learner's to chromebooks

Earlier this term, our Year 8 children went to visit Nazareth and spent some time exploring the Kawa of Care with the Year 3 learners. They explored how to use the chromebook and did the digital dig together. We hope the Year 3 children are having fun using their chromebooks in class.
