Marahau Baywatch-Sand races

On camp bay-watch was one of the four activities that we did. The leaders of each group were in charge of one game. Kate and Laura were in charge of bay-watch. Bay-watch is a relay game where you have to run to get a baton the first person to get the baton wins the round ,we have a few rounds and we find a boy winner and a girl winner. The boy winner was Manu and the girl winner was Savanah. Everyone really enjoyed the relay.

THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF NEW ZEALAND

Today the Governor General visited our fabulous school. In the picture is the Governor General Anand Satyanand. What a hard name to pronounce. He came into our class and talked to some of us. And a photo guy for the paper was flashing his camera YAY we might be in the paper. The Governor General talked about his job in front of the whole school and told us one thing to remember, that you should read books and make books and reading, your best friend. He had two big scary body guards.
After the assembly he was invited to have a snack , but he didn't.
We had a good time and he said himself that he enjoyed it alot and he bought his wife with him.

Build your wild self

Today we went to the New York Zoo and Aquarium website and we built ourselves with lots of animal things. We could add things like shark tails, tiger arms and rhino horns. We think it can help our learning by learning different animals namesand at the end you can find out about all the animals that you used.
We thought it was cool and funny.

Using Google Docs

Today we used our Google docs to write a narrative. We all wrote at the same time.
We thought it was crazy but fun.
We think it could help us practice narrative writing. Mrs McRobert said we could use this with our Dunedin writing buddies.

Problem solving in Bubbledome

Today we went on to bubbledome.com it was really cool we got given a mystery by the computer and had to write about it conner and I got given a yellow hat thing. It had sparkles and we had use the clues in the story to invent what it could be used for.
We had to think creatively to make up the explanation. We thought the site looked a bit cartoony and young but the activities were fun and we had to think hard, they only wrote the start and we got to finish it. It was good problem solving.
