How do you get to school ?

Well we did a few videos of how we get to school. Me and Ruby were in the first one which was walking in the rain dancing. Then it was me and Zylah. We did walking into the lower qaud. We said it was about to rain and it actually was about to start raining. So Zylah said to run and that looked good in the video. The main challenge in making the videos was the one where me and Ruby danced in the rain because it was hard to get the sound in the videos. My favourite part was when me(Ruth) 

Ruby and Zylah watched the funny videos.

Blogger Challenge Week 3: Combined Challenge - Technology at our school and what it likes and doesn't like about school. 

Today we drew a robot and made it say what it likes about school. Benjamin drew it and Ethan coloured it in. Then when we finished our robot we started to do our speaking. Benjamin only said one line and Ethan said the rest. Then we were finished.

A good day.

Today my Mum and Dad came to my class for 125 days of learning. I showed them my learning and they loved it.I showed them my books. In my books there is a the three school values as in Respect, Responsibility, resilience. If you were not there you can ask me about it. At the end of 125 days of learning my class did some art. We did birds and made them black. And back to the 125 days of learning. my Mum and Dad had to go back to work. It was a good day for me.  There were lots of Mums and Dads in my class. I think the birds liked it too.  When my Mum was gone I helped Hollie with her work she did need some help. Alexandra

5 places that you should visit in Auckland - Blogger Challenge 3

I think you should visit Auckland. Five exciting places to see are:  The Sky Tower because of the beautiful views. You should visit Sky City because there's a very flash hotel there. You should go to rainbows end because there are rides that end in water.St Luke's because there are shops that sell lots of things that are very handy to use.I think you should visit Grey Lynn because  everybody who lives there are nice.Come on go to Auckland. By Rio

How Auckland became a Big City

In Auckland there is a place called Surrey Cresent and it used to be a farm. In Auckland  there is a bridge called the Harbour Bridge it crosses with the harbour.  They also built a tower could the Sky Tower.  Then suburbs were built. Grey Lynn is a suburb where our school is.

Grey lynn and Auckland

Five places In my local area that I recommend you go to are Auckland zoo because it has loads of animals and sometimes you can come early to feed a giraffe and they are not scary.  Also Grey Lynn park which includes a toddler pool. I think it is cool because if you are older you can just dangle your feet in the pool but it is still fun. And Grey Lynn school (if you need a school to go to!.) It is a really fun school with friendly teachers. The last place that like is the viaduct in the city because it always has sparkling water in the sun.

IPads

Ipads are technology that are able to do stuff that know aver thing can do. You can play games,search for things on Safari! And most of all they are expensive because they are made with lots of things that are very valuable ! Ipads are fun,they are some times very annoying when you are stuck?  That's when we have to go onto another activity and wait until we can get help. This is when we show resilience using technology.

Blogger Challenge - Introducing our Class

We all talked about it as a class and decided we wanted to introduce ourselves having fun as we enjoy having fun and learning in Room 16. Here we are doing one of our favourite things - dancing.

We love this song as it has words about space - our topic last term. We enjoy the interactive part of the dance and doing it with our partners.

We hope you enjoy it too. Do any other classes have a favourite dance? If so, put it in the comments section and we will check it out!

Enjoy the dance,
