Room 4 – Cybersmart Term 2

Welcome back to school!

We had a really fun Cybersmart lesson with Mr Hughes today.

We got to practice the skills we spent Term 1 learning, and put them together to create some awesome pieces of art.

Check out our work, and please leave a positive comment – we love reading them!

Cybersmart – Design a Playground

In today’s Cybersmart lesson with Mr Hughes we put into practice heaps of the different skills we have been working on.

We used the pens, clipart, and the shapes to plan and design our ULTIMATE playgrounds. Check out the work these students did below.

Cybersmart – Lassoing and Cropping

Our Cybersmart Lessons with Mr Hughes have been so much fun! We have learned how to use EE (that stands for Explain Everything) and we can use it to create so many awesome things.

Today, we learned how to take photos, and use the lasso tool to crop our images. Then we added ourselves into pictures. Some of us, like Pauline, liked to draw. Others, like Bryceson and Jirah preferred to use ClipArt to add to their drawings. Isn’t that awesome!

Thank you for checking out our blog – leave us a positive comment, we would love to hear from you!

Cybersmart – Kawa of Care

Today in Room 4 we learned all about the Kawa of Care. We showed Mr Hughes from Manaiakalani all of the things that we already knew about how to look after our iPads, like how to hold them, how we should move around with them, and how we put them away and lock them up.

After that we used ExplainEverything – it’s a super cool app on our iPad that let’s us be super creative with our learning – to draw ourselves looking after our iPads the right way. Can you spot the “hug holds”?

Check out the pictures in the slides below, and feel free to leave us a positive comment. We love hearing from you all!

Layers of the Earth

Room 4 learned about the layers of the earth. They made a drawing of the earth that shows the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle and the core. They then labelled each layer. After they were done, they took a picture and added it to Explain Everything. Finally they designed a title “Layers of Earth” to match their drawing. They had so much fun making them.

The walk to Point England Reserve

 

Room 4 and the rest of Panmure Bridge School walked to Point England Reserve today to learn about the local history of the area and the Tamaki River.

We enjoyed walking from Panmure Bridge School to Point England Reserve. We used what we learned from Constable Richard to “stop, look and listen” to keep ourselves safe on the walk.  It was amazing seeing the Tamaki River up close and we looked to see if there were any Taniwha’s around. On the way we saw boats, bushes, trees, birds and someone fishing in the river.

Halfway to the reserve, Room 4 students got very tired and asked their teacher “Are we there yet?”. It was a longer walk, just about 2.6 kms. Although it felt far, we enjoyed doing it together as a class.

When we got there, we sat next to the river and had our morning tea. We were so hungry from all the walking.  We had conversations about the walk with our friends and with some of our parents that joined us.

After that we played in the park on the playground. We especially enjoyed going on the Flying Fox and the swings. We also enjoyed the slides and we had to go one at a time. We were very happy to see that the playground also had a rock climbing wall. It was so much fun!

Finally we got onto the bus that took us back to school.

We had so much fun walking to Point England Reserve and we loved the park the most!
