Our new blogs

Yesterday in our Buzz groups we discussed the great things we had seen on blogs and we came up with a list of ideas.
We liked:
· Our virtual pets,
· Looking at our earlier work and remembering it,
· Our cartoon portrait photos,
· Our Vokis,
· Our Teapot Valley Camp presentations,
· Slide shows
· Photos
· Reading what other people have been doing
At eLearning in the afternoon we needed to make a new class blog so Viv could get in and create new postings with us. Luckily Tim helped us and he transferred the postings we had done with Sarah. We wouldn’t want to lose them!
Those of us who already had our own personal blogs from last year had them linked to our new class blog and the rest of us set up new personal blogs with Tim. It might take us a little time to get our postings started but we’ll let you know when we get the first ones on.

Suter Centre Part 2!

The Finished Product!


We are very proud of our herd of dairy cattle that we created at the Suter Centre last week! We put the final touches on in class this week. Each cow in the herd is special and unique. If you look closely you will discover what we think we are really good at!

Swimming Up A Storm!


The annual Kahikatea Swimming Carnival was held yesterday. The children had a lot of fun and did a wonderful job showing off their swimming skills. Thank you to all of those parents who came out to watch and support our talented swimmers. Room five did a fantastic job!
