Using google tour builder to tell a story

Today Room 7 had the great opportunity to learn to use the app google tour builder to write a personal recount. They could either write a person recount on their EOTC week this week or write about all the places that they have travelled.

They really enjoyed using this app and had a lot of fun and were really engaged as they were able to collaborate with each other and were able to use images, maps, videos etc to share their personal recount.

We are looking forward to using this app more in our classroom for many more curriculum learning areas.

Here is the link to Ida's tour builder presentation.
Please do leave a comment, Thanks Room 7.

Kia Orana- All about the Cook Islands.

On Monday the 1st of August Room 7 and Room 4 had Tuakana Teina Day. For Tuakana Teinda day because it was Cook Island Language week we worked together without buddies from Room 4 to create a presentation All about the Cook Islands. We had so much fun creating these books.

Here is a presentation created by Timeus and Metui. Kia Pai Timeus and Metui.
You have done a fantastic job creating your presentation.  I can see that you both have learnt so much about the Cook Islands.

Keep up the great work!

Here is Sahil's work on inferencing. We have been learning how to use our inferencing skills to get a better understanding of what the author is trying to imply.

School Values

As part of our Inquiry topic this term we have been learning about our Tamaki Primary School Values. Today we focussed on Tukumarie which is Tolerance. We looked at how Tukumarie applies to ourselves and our different cultures and what makes us special.
