More laptop kids




Today we learned about photo booth. I have never heard so much laughter in my class! The children particularly loved the roller coaster and the mirror and twisted images - ask them to explain this to you.

It's Daffodil Day






Today the whole school dressed in yellow and children brought a gold coin along to donate to the Cancer society. What a great sight it was to see everybody doing Jump Jam together. Elena was chosen as the best dressed for our class - well done!

Laptop kids


Today before developmental we had the laptops in class. We all experimented with Kid Pix. At developmental we could choose to continue with Kid Pix or take photos and download the photos and write some instructions - we have great fun at school.

Origami fun









On Tuesday 17 August Yuki (Leia's Mum), Cody (Leia's brother) and Masayo (Sakura's Mum) came to Room 3 to teach us the Japanese art of paper folding - origami. We had great fun copying the folding techniques. We made helmets, cups and cats.
