Education outside the classroom

Trip to the Botanical Garden
Years 5, 6, 7 and 8 classes to have an education outside of the classroom. We are learning about the world of plants at the Botanical Garden. 
We learned about the native, endemic and exotic plants of New Zealand. 

                           Our magical moments...

ASH Wednesday

Celebrating Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent and prepares us for Easter. It is the time for fasting, alms giving and prayer.  
The ashes were burnt the day before from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday the previous year.
Time to turn away from sins and return to the gospel. 

Why and how of digital learning?

Digital learning in Room 4

I learnt many unique applications with the use of chromebook.

Miss Payton taught me how to use the blog but Mrs Cochrane helped me the most by teaching me how to use different applications.

Digital learning helps me do my homework online. I can post my work on blogger, receive and answer emails from Mrs Cochrane.

In a digital class we worked collaboratively. I used my chromebook wisely in the classroom. I take good care of the chromebook.

One of the advantage in using chrome book, the information is available , easy to access and you can retrieve them anytime.  

I feel included and important when we work collaboratively in groups, it is a really nice experience .

I learnt different applications to help publish my work, as well as how to research different information. Mrs Cochrane helped me with my learning, by suggesting different websites I can use in my research.

Through the chromebook I can look up words I don’t know. I can find good ideas for my school projects.

I can also learn new applications to use and publish work. I am learning to become more creative in setting up my work. I have been posting work I learned in Reading, Writing and Science, Social Studies and project. Learning is fun, I can be creative in presenting work. I am proud of all my work.
I enjoy using my chromebook, I can do my work anywhere, anyplace and anytime.

I learnt to use a chromebook as well as other applications to publish my work. I also learnt how to put my work on my blog.

Miss Payton helped me to set up my work on my blog and Mrs Cochrane helped me with the other applications.

In the future, I could put my work on my blog without any help and that I could experience more applications for publishing my work.

I am pleased that I could use some applications for research and publishing online and sharing this with the world.

I enjoyed putting my work on my blog and publishing my work on Google Draw and Google Docs.

I could work anywhere, anytime and I could work on my own pace.

I want to learn to use more application and learn more information about my future projects.

Value of RESPECT

Term one we are learning the value of respect,  how to show respect to self, to others, to authority and to our community. Give respect and you get respect back. Respect given is respect earned.

We are learning about respect towards ourselves and others.

In room 4 we are learning about respect.  Respect is something you have to earn before you are given it.
