DMic Lesson

We have been measuring and decision making, questioning, and experimenting. We have measuring the length of the pools at the Glen Innes Aquatics Centre, how many metres we can swim, the longest a student kick the ball and the shortest distance. We measured the distance between Ms Tumahai's and the socket to find out how long the charger cord has to be. We had so much fun making and measuring our team stack of sandwiches and then adding up all the stacks to find out long it was.

Unfortunately we all ate our sandwiches before we got to measure the whole class.

But lucky for us we recorded our groups stacks then added them all to get the total. Watch our video clip to see how much our classroom stack measured.

The New Room 11

When I move into a new classroom I'm very particular. Things have to be in the right place. Every corner, cupboard, table and chair has to scrubbed and cleaned. My family think I'm a little over the top. This email is to thank my whanau for giving up their Saturday to help me get Room 11 ready for Monday, Also Mr Jacobsen and Mr Shaw for the things that I have asked for. The lovely tech girls, Shaniah and Tia, thank you for saying "YES" and making it possible to have the computers exactly where I want them and all the things you do with computers. Thanks to all the students who helped me move to the girls who moved furniture, thank you, because of you all Room 11 looks amazing.

E noho ra Team 2

An opportunity to teach higher up in the school has been offered. I have wanted to move into the world of chrome books for a little while now but did not expect it would happen so soon into a new year. So I say E noho ra to Team 2 and join Team 4. I will miss the children but if they follow my directions to my new class then they will find me.

 Not Good Bye just see you all later.

Team 2 will focus on Directions. Students will try to create maps showing the different places. Give instructions that show precise step by step directions. Get creative in clubs, making mazes and understanding directions up, down, left, right, half turn, quarter turn, over under.

This movie was made at the end of term 1. The teachers thought it would be a good idea to have an Easter Egg Hunt and explain to the students that to find Easter Eggs they would need to look up, down, left, right, half turn, quarter turn, over and under.
