Technology with Room 6

We have begun our Technology unit and have met with room 6 to draw our designs. 

Our topic is Imagination so we have thought of an imaginary world and designed a costume that a character would wear who lives in our world. 

Apple tv and our iPad

Today we had the apple TV up on  the screen. Miss Pethybridge (our student teacher) went onto the kiwi kids news website. There was an article about manners and it told us that a lot of kids were not using manners and some kids at their dinner time are eating their dinner in front of the TV while their parents were at the table having a conversation. Some kids are swearing in public.

Then we went onto the show me app and did some spelling. Miss Pethybridge wrote some words and then we had to add magic 'e's onto the end of the words.

Genius Hour in Room 7

We are going to be taking part in the "The Global Genius Hour Project".

First we watched this video clip of a 9 year old boy who reminded us not to be boring. He said to go down the road less traveled - the hard way, so we can not be the same and not boring.



Then we looked at the Genius Hour wiki to learn more about this project.

Next we brainstormed all the topics we wanted to learn more about and what we were curious about.

Night Glow Balloon Festival

Did you go to the Hot Air Balloon Night Glow Festival on Saturday night? 

If so, what was your favourite part and why?

Hot Air balloon Visit

Animoto made by Zaric

Animoto made by Poppy

Today we had a hot air balloon visit our school. Some of us came to school at 7am and had breakfast! We then watched the people inflate the balloon.
We went to the hall to listen to Andy the pilot. This is what we found interesting....

• Balloons travel only in the morning because the air is calm and still (Fin)
• Balloons don't travel that fast so that the person who drives the truck to collect the balloon can catch up (Aaron)
• Some balloons can crash (Zoe)
• Andy the pilot has flown in different countries (Titus)
• Hot air balloons come in different shapes and sizes (Jade)
• You need to have to have a team to fly a balloon because they are heavy and need a team to control the balloon and someone to drive the truck (Thomas)
• The number on the balloon is their registration like a car (Aaron)
• balloons rise into the air because hot air rises inside the envelope and the air is lighter than the air outside (Zaric)
• Andy's balloon is called "the EGG" (Leah)
• The balloon's envelope is made out of fabric and it has a skirt (Aaron)

How does your blog help you with your learning?
