Why R5 should get Chromebooks

This week we have been writing letters to our Principal - Jude. We wrote to persuade Jude that Room 5 should have Chromebooks. We had to outline how we would use them for our learning and how we would look after them. We had to use strong persuasive language. Here is Mary's letter. 

Why Kid's TV Shows are Educational

Finley has written a speech to persuade adults that some kid's TV programmes are educational and worth watching. He decided to present his speech using Google Slides. He has figured out how to insert videos into his slides to give examples for each main point of his speech.

Kauri Block Opens!

We had a very special day on Friday, the new block of classrooms was officially opened! We had an opening ceremony and then as part of the celebration, we had a special concert with performances. Here is a video of some of the highlights.

We also had a shared lunch after the concert. There was so much delicious food!

Aboriginal Art

As part of our study of Aboriginal and Indigenous people during Term 2, we created some amazing Australian Aboriginal art.

We started off by exploring the Aboriginal legend about Tiddalik and the Flood.

Here are some images of R5 creating their pieces of art.
