Planting Native Trees

What a busy morning we have had planting some of the trees that we received from the Women's Native Tree Nursery here in Gisborne for our awesome recycling. We were given over 120 native trees! We planted some kanuka, hebes and kowhai because we were planting in our school Butterfly Garden - the butterflies and bees love these plants. We used our team work skills to take turns at digging and planting and we even gave the roots a haircut so they weren't bound around the plant. We had so much fun and we can't wait to watch our trees grow into big strong ones!

Chromie's Camera App Challenge

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were learning how to use the camera on our Chromebooks.

Chromie the Chromebook set a challenge for us. We were challenged to replace images on slides so that the image stayed in the same place and stayed the same size. We were awarded with a certificate when we completed the challenge.

Here is Arla's work. 
Have you read the book that she likes?

Make a Fish Challenge

Today Miss Naden challenged us to make our own fish out the of the shapes on Google Draw. We learned how to insert shapes, change the colours and size, and flip the shapes around. Check out our sea of fish below!

Chromie the Chromebook Challenge - Level 1

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we did a challenge.

Chromie the Chromebook challenged us to complete all the slides. 
This was to practise drag and drop to place objects, resizing objects by dragging the corner handles 

and by entering text in the correct place.

This is the Level 1 challenge.

I wonder what will be in the Level 2 challenge?

Here is Marley's challenge. 
Can you see where he has followed the instructions and completed each slide?

  

And here is his certificate.

Ka pai tō mahi Marley!

Voyaging at the Museum

This week we went to the Museum and we had the most amazing time learning all about waka and voyaging!

Our first activity was a scavenger hunt around the museum displays.

In the star dome we watched a video of the Horouta waka coming to Tūranganui A Kiwa and we found the Horouta waka, Matariki, the hook and lots of other constellations in the stars.

Our last activity of the afternoon was making our own waka.
