Orienteering

 This week in Room 6 we have been learning about position and direction.  We have had a go at reading and creating maps of our school and we even set our own course for a classmate to complete.  On Thursday, Miss P set up a big orienteering course for the whole class to complete in pairs.  We had to turn and thumb our map, find the triangle to know where to start, collect 15 letters from the different controls around the school and then find the finish.  Once we had completed the course, we then had to arrange our letters and find out what they spelled.  It took a while, but the word was CONGRATULATIONS!

Fun with Bee Bots

 Kia Ora,

In Room 6 we have been reading 'The Wild Robot' by Peter Brown as one of our Chapter Chat novels.  Whaea Kirstin and Miss P decided that it would be a fantastic opportunity for our Year 3/4/5 kids to have a go at coding online and to learn all about algorithms.  Because Room 5 and 6 were so amazing with their coding, we went one step further and purchased real life robots!  The learning has been rich, much patience has been needed and the cooperative working and discussion has been fantastic.  Bee bots are soooooo much fun!

Using Google Drawing

Today Room 6 were learning how to use Google Drawing with Vicki. We learned how to use WordArt to make our names look awesome! We changed the colour by clicking on the paint bucket and we changed the font.

We also learned how to find images using the explore tool and we had to resizing the images to make them fit. We used the corner to resize so we didn't squash our pictures.
