Our Antarctica Field Trip
This week we have been on a field trip to Antarctica. We have been participating in an audio-conference being broadcast live from Scott Base. Kate Sparks has been telling us all about different aspects of live on the ice. We have also been immersing ourselves in all things Antarctica by: creating reports, asking questions, joining in the back channel, finding out about Antarctic animals, and completing different online activities.

Just keeping busy these holidays. Conferencing about tech and other awesome things!
We are having a great time at Ulearn14 in Rotorua this week. Ulearn is a 3-day conference devoted to helping teachers and schools better use computers in the classroom. We have been talking to and listening to other teachers and professionals about things we can all do to get more connected. I've got some great ideas for Room 10...so get ready!!!

Some of our minecraft bridge creations
For Minecraft Club today, the students were given the task of creating a bridge that people can either walk over or under. We all used a different approach to create something really cool. Some of us even put fish into our water. Well done on using your creativity and persistence.
Our calendar art is finished and looks great!
In Room 10 we created 'Tui's in Flax' pictures using a mix of vivids, crayon, and dye. We worked on getting the lines for the different types of feather in the right place and making sure the flax in the background overlapped its leaves. We think we did a pretty awesome job and hope you think so too. Be sure to check out our artwork in the room 10 folder in the library.
