A few clippings of our adventures in the local paper

 Performing Pa Mai at the Lake Hawea ANZAC Day dawn service

Tana in the cockpit of a RNZAF Hercules at the War Birds Over Wanaka in the holidays 

Creating our own Power Point slide shows about how to make ANZAC cookies

Sorry I can't add them all as there are 11 and that takes a long time to upload to Youtube.
They have been a great learning experience as not many of the kids had used Power Point before.
The skills that they have been developing are...
-Co-operation skills
-Presentation skills
-Sequencing
-ICT skills (Photo manipulation)
...and a whole lot more

Well maybe I will add them all :)

1 C                 Rolled Oats

Method

1.  Pre Heat your oven to 180ᵒC

3.  Mix all of the dry ingredients together.

In reply to our writing and letter to Maria

Dear Luke Dyer and Room 6 students

Wow, your book looks fantastic! You have all done a wonderful job of describing your animals. I like the way you have presented your information with pictures and text boxes. I learnt a lot from reading all about the different animals. The way you put it into your own words made it even more interesting.

I hope you all get a chance to vote for your favourite book in the Children’s Choice award. I am crossing my fingers for ‘New Zealand Hall of Fame’ and will find out on May 16^th.

You’ve got some great photographs on your blog. What a great way to record your year in Room 6.

Good luck with your next project!

Best wishes
