The Animal Land

We created this movie for our break through learning. It is about friendships. We were very determined because it was our first time making a movie so it put us in the pit. We used fabric for the background and we used the app 'I Can Animate'. We used sound effects to make it more interesting. We made our movie about friendships because we think everyone should be nice to each other.

The Greatest Break Through Exhibition by Emma

I went to the Exhibition on Tuesday. First I showed my mum my breakthrough slides.she asked me some things about it and I was happy she liked it. Next went into hub two and I showed my mum my final product it was a stuff toy. My mum and me went to explore other hubs. We explored hub three.we saw a little bit of the circus. Then we ate some food at the stalls. I watched a singing performance. Lastly I watched the hub six and seven show with Siena. But I just had a little bit more food.Then I went home.I stayed  up till eight o,clock. I was very tired now.That was one of my favourite Exhibitions ever.best time ever.

Using Questions in Literacy

We have been learning about using questions to help with our learning when reading.

Nell made a great connection about making bookmarks like what we have in the library. So we chose questions we could ask when reading texts and made bookmarks with these on them so we can use them at school and home.

Last Week of Basketball!

It is our last week of basketball with our coaches from Kiwi Sport.  Today we got to play full games against each other, using all the skills we had learned the previous weeks.  A lot of the hub enjoyed trying to shoot goals, while marking other players in the opposition.  Our coaches reminded us about playing basketball in one of the clubs around Stonefields School.  Thank you to the coaches for teaching us the last four weeks, we have really enjoyed learning!
