We're getting fit!

We are training for our cross country next term and are working hard on our fitness every morning. We run around the field, trying to pace ourselves for 10 minutes, and count the number of cones we pass. This data is graphed in our maths books.

Self Reflection - Week 4

This weeks question is based on our A. Indicator focus - Problem Solving

Podcasting!

This week our Tri Teams are going to create a podcast with the research they have collected about their quotes. We can use this website; 'Podcasting in Education', to find out more.
It has some cool examples of some student podcasts, some info for teachers and parents and the links to the software we are going to use to create them. (It has a lot of media files and takes awhile to load)

Visit this link to hear an example of a 'grade 6' (9-10 year olds) class podcast. They sound like they have had a great time making them
Acekids!
