Investigating Technology at the Tech Expo

 We found out lots of interesting things you can use different technologies in learning.
 Some children have become experts and shared their knowledge.
 We had fun trying the cameras out. Some pictures made us laugh out loud.
 The green screen was interesting.





Puanga Celebrations

 Some of us came to school really early when it was dark and stood around a large, warm fire. There were songs and prayers.
 We went in the hall and had breakfast and then did craft activities. 

 Kristinn and Kini made sailing boats.
 Maddison was making a Kite.

 Later in the morning we went to the beach and made sand and driftwood sculptures. They were fun. The weather was nice. We could see Mt Taranaki.
The whole school went back on the buses. We loved the beach.

Finding out how a boom-box works

 We were given an old Boom-box to see what made it work.

 We used a screw driver to take it to pieces and look inside.
 We found switches and wires which operated the electricity.
 This helped us understand how electrical items work.

Skipping Fitness


 We have been having fun learning to skip.
 It was hard at first so we had to practise a lot.
 We started to challenge one another by skipping in many ways.
 We learned how to work as a team and skipp in a group.
it is hard to keep skipping without stopping.

Owls around our classroom

 We have a theme in our room - Owls.
 They are wise and like to reach high places to find out things.
 We drew these owls on black paper then coloured them brightly with pastel.
 We put goggly eyes on them to make the owls look down on us from the high trees in our room.
 Some of us put patterns on their feathers.

Winning the Fundraising Competition

 Our class won the fundraising competition and we were given a party morning tea.
 We got to eat yummy food.

Thank you CIA (Carlton in Action) for such a magnificent morning tea. We will not forget it. All the things we love.
