Today was a special day - it is the 40th aniversary of the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. We watched a video clip today and discussed what it was all about. Tomorrow we are reading a newspaper article and using WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY and HOW to summarise the important information.
Take a look for yourself...

Relating to Others
Our Key Competency focus for Term 3 is Relating to Others.
Today Room 10 looked at the Ministry definition of relating to others. We decided there were lot of words we did not understand so we spent some time looking up and discussing what each part meant.
We then wrote our own definition in language everyone can understand.
We then had to think about what this would look like, sound like and feel like in our school environment. We came up with lots of fantastic ideas! We are going to write Warm Fuzzies for people we see doing all these things in our classroom and in the playground.
If you see anyone from our class doing any of these fantastic things feel free to ask someone from Room 10 to write a warm fuzzie for that person or come on in and pop one up!

Voice Threads
Last term we planned and produced some voicethreads reporting on some of the activities we do in our classroom.
We worked in groups to plan and prepare what we were going to say and then used the laptops to record our voices!
We discussed what made a good voicethread and wrote a list of criteria for our own ones. Some of the things we included were - speak in a clear voice, plan and practice what you are going to say, speak slowly
Here are some of our voicethreads!
