R.E.S.P.E.C.T....find out what it means to me!

Our first school value that we are looking at this year is respect.  It's something that we all need to work on to make sure we're the best that we can be.  Here are our first thoughts on the subject:

Reading

Each week in reading we have been given a contract.  We choose a certain number of activities out of the contract, and complete them in the time frame.

This week our reading has been about Earthquakes.

One of the activities in the contract was to create a tower that would withstand a Whaea Danielle earthquake.  The tower would be made out of spaghetti pasta and blu-tack.

Very interesting to see the different base shapes and different techniques to build a tower.

Check out our creations. On Monday Whaea will shake them to see if they pass the test...bring it on!

Digital Citizenship Rules

From discussions and websites, and in class conversation Whaea Danielle came up with our 6 rules that we will use in our classroom.

Our task was in 2 parts.  We put ourselves into 6 groups and were given a rule each.  We had to solve the jigsaw puzzle of our rule, and then we had 24 hours to write and practice a presentation to show what that rule means.



Keep checking back for the presentations!

Digital Citizenship

We are spending this week learning to be great digital citizens.  We started off by talking about the different types of technology we could use in our learning, and as well as the rules we need to have when we use our technology.

Here are our collaborative brainstorms we did today.

If you have any thoughts please feel free to add them on!
