A Puzzling Day

Today Mr Wills took our class while Mrs McRobert wrote our reports. Not only did we play a number of puzzles but we discussed good puzzle design and the similarities and differences between puzzles. Mr Wills challenged us to adapt a puzzle of our choice to make it unique.
Troy liked playing the puzzles.
Tunisia enjoyed using her brain in a different way.
Jacob thoroughly enjoyed the different version of capture the flag.

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.
