Big Green Rig

Today we enjoyed another session at the Big Green Rig.
We learnt about flooding and what we might need to take with us if there was a flood. We thought it was a very good time to think about it as we have had so much rain in the last week.
We then got to look at some of the interactive activities.

Movie of our classroom.

Tonight after everyone had gone home, I took a movie of what our classroom looks like. So people all over the world can see what we have been doing.
Tomorrow we will take another one with Room 3 learning.


I pod touch

Check out this crazy programme I found on the Ipod.
We will all be learning to use it over the next few weeks. It is called Comic Touch and is similar to Comic Life that we have used on the computer.

Sand Pit sentences

We are learning to use pages on the Mac to put photos and write sentences about the photo.

During the week we will be learning some new phrases and things to say in Maori.

Try this out:

Kei te pēhea koe?

This means how are you? 

Volcano

After writing all about volcanoes a few weeks ago we decided to have our own volcano.
Here are the pctures of our volcano erupting. Even though our volcano was a very strange colour. The lava looked good.

Sand Pit



We were all very excited to be able to use the sand pit for the first time.
Here are nearly all the Junior Jets playing together.
The playground was empty.
