Maker-y Robots

On Wednesday Baruk came in and introduced us to the Maker-y Robots. We learned how to code to make the robots change colours. We can't wait for our next session where we will create code to make the robot move.

Screencastify, myths and legends

This week we have been learning about myths and legends. We had to retell a myth of our choice and use screencastify and google slides to present it. Here are a few examples of our mahi. Please check out individual blogs to see more. We hope you enjoy our stories :)

Digital Korowai

In class we have been learning about who we are and where we are from. We completed a digital korowai to help show this. We used text (English and our own) and pictures to show the things that are important to us. Here are a few, if you would like to see more check out our individual blogs! :)

2017 Digital Korowai

We are all unique and special in our own way, our digital korowai is us connecting with our past, acknowledging our present and looking to the future.

Manaiakalani Digital Badge

Congratulations to us!

We have just received a digital badge for our participation in the Tuhi mai tuhi atu whanau. We have a vision to connect clusters of students through blogging. Every week we comment on and post our learning to our individual blogs. It has been a great way to connect with others. We have been lucky enough to connect with Lake Brunner School, Paroa School and Wesley Primary and have enjoyed working collaboratively to positively improve our learning.

Frucor Activity Day

How lucky we were today to have Alistar and his team of superstars from Frucor come and take our school for a day of activities and fun. We had a dance battle station, technology, soccer, chocolate river, egg creations and target practise. From everyone at Edmund Hillary, thank you.

Audio Stories!

These are our audio stories! We had to select music, then identify keywords that described how the music made us feel. We then wrote a short story and recorded ourselves reading them over music. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoyed making them. Please click on the picture and it will take you to the recording.
