On Monday we celebrated 100 days at school - with lots of activities and games related to the number 100!
Decorating biscuits with 100s and 1000s
Wow! How fast have 100 days flashed by?? Roll on the next 100!
Then we had Mr Des Forges pop into Room 12 with a trolly full of ipad minis!
He show the class how to "code" using an app called Scratch Junior. (It's free!)
The children loved moving their character around the screen, changing the scenery and adding audio. There was lots of collaboration amomgst the children - it was great to see them helping each other out, suggesting ideas and encouraging each other.
In 2020 the new Digital Technology Curriculum will be put into place throughout NZ schools.
"It has been designed to ensure that all learners have the opportunity to become digitally capable individuals. There is a need for greater focus on our students building their skills so they can be innovative creators of digital solutions, moving beyond solely being users and consumers of digital technologies."
Ministry of Education.
I think our children are well on the way!
Then there was our dance performance.
After 9 x 30 minute lessons we were ready to perform our 2 dances.
The children were so excited and did so well.
Here are a few photos from over the week ...
Well done Room 12!
And that was just Week 2!
