Build a Robot

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we carried on practising our trackpad skills by building a robot.

We used shapes to build a robot. Then we resized, recoloured and rotated shapes to make it look how we wanted it to. 

Build a Robot

 Here are our robots that we created in Google Drawings.

Can you see who the Ninjas are? 

They added more shapes to create ears, antenna and more.

Sustainable Coastlines

 Last week some children in Room 9 were part of a beach clean up for Sustainable Coastlines. We went to Kaiti Beach, picked up lots of rubbish and bought it back to school. We then had to sort the rubbish into categories and weigh it. It was amazing how much plastic we found. 

We now need to think about how we can stop plastics ending up on our beaches and hurting the sea life. 

Chromie the Chromebook Challenge - Level 2

This week we did a challenge with Chromie the Chromebook.

We had to use both hands on our trackpad to drag and drop, to resize and to click into the correct place to add text or numbers.

Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu - Nō hea koe?

Nō hea koe?
Where are you from? 

We are in a Manaiakalani programme called Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu. 

We have got 3 blogging buddies. 
We take turns at reading each other's blogs and commenting on the posts.

Here are our 3 schools. 

Have you been to the places where these schools are? 

We are in Tūranganui A Kiwa/Gisborne.

Our blogging buddies are in Auckland | Tamaki Makaurau.

Let's fly over New Zealand and see where their schools are.

Kawa of Care

In our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we talked about 

how to look after our Chromebooks. This is called our Kawa of Care.

We all made a poster in Google Drawings and this has added to our Kawa of Care. 

Here is Callum's Kawa of Care poster. 

He had to write 3 messages and design his poster. 

Can you see how he has formatted the text so it is easy to read? 

Ka pai tō mahi Callum!

Here is Room 9's Kawa of Care.

  

Room 9 Ākonga - 2021

 We are year 3 & 4 learners at Gisborne Central School.

We like learning new things like animals, how to keep our computers safe, maths, reading, writing sentences, different types of sentences art and science. 

We have super, fun-filled field trips like to Te Tapuwae o Rongokako - the marine reserve. 

We have a fabulous playground with a covered area. 

We can do sports on rainy days. 

We can play netball and basketball under it. 

When it's too hot we can go under it for shade.
