Last week ( November 12), in ICT, we split the class in two.
One group searched google images for photos of Tonga and saved them into a special folder.
Group Two imported these photos into Kidspix, added their own drawing on top of the photo and recorded their thoughts on what they had learnt as they had studied Tonga.
This was all done in class time and it's not easy having your voice recorded on the spot like that!
See below for some of the results of our work........

Unpicking the Past at Town Acre 445
We went to the Museum to discover and experience what life might have been like for the new settlers who arrived in Nelson on the early ships in the 1840's and 1850's. We are learning about places of significance in Nelson and how the past has influenced what makes Nelson a special place.

In Geometry we have been learning about shapes. Here is our mural of Rm 14's ZOO OF SHAPES. We had a lot of fun using squares, ovals, triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons and hexagons to make animals. 
There were peacocks
, elephants, pigs, cats, caterpillars, mice, lions, tucans, pelicans, butterflies and ladybirds at our zoo!
Popping Popcorn!
We made a class book about the steps we took to pop popcorn! It is in our classroom for us to read! It was crunchy! It was very yummy to eat!
Botanics for lunch!
We have a map of Central Nelson on our wall in Room 14. We use it to see where we are going for our walks.
We walked to the Botanics to have lunch and play in the Autumn leaves!
Everyone bet Vairi in the running race!
We made a pile of leaves as tall as Lesley!

Wild, Wet, Windy Wednesday
It was windy at my aunty’s house and her power line fell down. My grandad’s ute nearly got crushed but it didn’t. A big tree nearly fell over on it and it will have to be cut down. Levi

Sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…sh…went the wind up-rooting the trees. When I fell over I said, “Mum help me! It is so windy!” “I know!” said mum. The next day I said to mum, “Can I have another umbrella?” and she said, “OK.” I said, “Yay!” Madison

On Wednesday there was a big stom. I was not at school all the day because the gusty wind blew the door shut and it jammed my finger. It hurt a lot. I went to the sick bay and later my mum came and picked me up and took me home. I was watching TV and suddenly the power went off.

Delaware Bay
The wreck of the Delaware.JPG)
Room 14 visited the Suter Art Gallery to view Sally Burton's exhibition depicting the historic story of the wreck of the sailing ship 'Delaware'. The interactive display and the story captured the imaginations of every child.
The children created their own art works using black and white pastels to feature two of the main people involved, Huria and Hemi Matenga. .JPG)
We retold the story as a class shared activity in written expression.
There was high interest in actually visiting what is now known as Delaware Bay to experience the area of the wreck, and to locate the iwi burial site at the end of the spit.
