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!

Our T-shirts

For our art gallery this year, Room 6 created kiwiana inspired pop art.  We drew our image, Miss P then took a photo and then we uploaded the image onto our chrome books.  From these images we created our pop art.  Miss P downloaded our pop art as a pdf and then got them printed on to t-shirts.  We are SO proud!

 

Music with Fran Term 3

 3.09.20

Today we started Music in the hall with Fran.  Some of us got to play the glockenspiel, the tambourines and the giro.  Oscar got two sticks that when you hit them with a cupped hand, they made a really awesome sound.  We got to play "We Will Rock You."  Next week we get to have a go on the violins.  We can't wait!

Room 6 can now blog!

Room 6 can now blog!

It has taken us a wee while to get organised with our blogging this year thanks to Covid-19, but we are finally up and running.  Room 6 are pretty excited about it!

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.

Metaphors

Metaphors

What is a METAPHOR?

This is the question that was posed to Room 6 this week.  There were a few blank faces and it was really hard coming up with an answer...

Are they the same as similes?

Short answer: NO.
Long answer:  But you're close.

We watched the above video to help us with our learning.  Check out our individual blogs to see what metaphors we came up with!

Kawa of Care

This week with Vicki we talked about the kawa of care for our chrome books.  We talked and learnt about how we can best look after our chrome books and how we can encourage others to also do this.  We then created some comic strips demonstrating our learning.  And here, we share some of our creations.
