In an endeavour to encourage the class to blog more frequently and to increase the quality of blogging, I'm introducing 'Blogger of the week'. They can win this awesome and super snazzy digital badge for their blog and can be featured here on our class blog to gain more 'hits' on their blogs.

We've been lucky enough to have two tree planting experiences already. Our first was up the Grampians where we are planting trees to help the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary develop a 'Halo effect' (a safety net of native fruiting trees for the birds when they fly out of the Sanctuary). We had fun sliding around in the mud and planted one big podocarp or beech tree each.<br />

<br />
Next, we were lucky enough to get a bus up to the top of Piper's Reserve where we have been planting trees for four years now. It was lovely to see previous year's trees growing up big and strong. The kids were able to plant as many trees as they could in the hour provided. What a great day out!<br />

The Senior school has kicked off what we hope will become regular events. 'STEAMS' days are there to provide extra support in our classroom practice around the teaching and learning in key curriculum areas that are sometimes given less emphasis in the Primary school classroom. STEAMS is an interpretation of 'STEM' which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. We have added the 'A' for Arts and 'S' for Social Studies. </div>

There was an amazing variety of activities on offer for the day. Students were exploding things, making things, coding things, building things, destroying things, sciencing things, experimenting with things, acting out things. It was a really great day:)</div>

We are on the lookout for any parental expertise in any of the STEAMS areas; where you might be able to lead a small group of students for an hour and a half block. Our next STEAMS day is on the 22nd of June. </div>

I recently met an Auckland teacher who has had his class participating in 'Mystery Hangouts'. His class had been 'skyping/Hangouting' with classes around the world and he asked if my class would like to have a go. In a nutshell, you agree on a set time to 'hangout' and then through a series of questions that can only be answered by 'yes' and 'no' you guess where each school is in the world.<br />
<br />

The class loved the experience and there was a great buzz in the room as the children rushed to consult google maps and pass information onto the questioners etc.<br />
Each child had a set role in the hangout. We had welcomers, questioners, Google mappers, runners, trackers, managers, Googlers, videographers, bloggers....<br />
<br />
I loved how the Hangout meant that we had to work as a class to solve the problem. My favourite quote coming from the mappers who would shout out in gusto "I need a runner"(to convey information to the questioners). We developed key geographical and mapping skills and we had fun doing it!<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I set the class with a Khan Academy account. <a href="https://www.khanacademy.org/">khanacademy.org</a> is a free website that allows students to 'learn anything'. As the website says...</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 22px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. </span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 22px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I encourage the students to regularly visit the site and to make a habit of adding to their scores and overall progress. I can keep check of how much time they have put into Khan Academy and what areas they are studying as well as seeing what gaps they have that may need addressing in class. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 22px auto; max-width: 700px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So for example, here is a snapshot of some of the student's progress from this morning's session. If the students were able to practise for say 10 minutes a day in maths or coding, they would be sure to make some stunning progress! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also, I'm happy for those children that do not have easy access to the internet at home to use the chrome books at school and use their accounts. </span></div>

We got back into school today with a hiss and a roar. The kids were super engaged and enthusiastic about getting back into new learning opportunities. We started with a primary school classic: the newspaper tower challenge. Skills promoted were team communication, decision-making and risk-taking. We had tall triumphs and major flops. All in a good days work!</div>

These first projects are called 'Lite 2.0' which means we are running them like a trial run. Students are required to have a passion project or something they are curious to find more about. The students must have these three elements to their projects...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>a driving question (what can I learn about/how might I?)</li>
<li>research</li>
<li>be prepared to share their findings with the class</li>
</ul>
<div>
We have a real variety of projects on the go. Some are exploring coding while others are looking into food, art, the environment, movie making, endangered animals...the list is near endless.</div>

We looked at some student blogs from 2015 that were of a high standard and found a few things in common. Points made by the students included that these students<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Used personal voice</li>
<li>Used Exciting language</li>
<li>Were reflective of the learning experience</li>
<li>Stated opinions on the learning experience</li>
<li>Made posts that were about learning and did not deviate into talking about sleepovers/parties/puppies etc.</li>
<li>Used the language of a learner eg. because, I felt, I improved, I found this hard because, my next steps are.....</li>
</ul>
<br />

A great idea to get more involved with your child's blog. Easy to do and an easy way to remember to check up on their blog more frequently.<br />
<br />
On android, just visit the blog, then tap the traffic light symbol, tap add to home screen.

They are enjoying learning a new language and should be able to say hello, thank you and goodbye. The are working on saying 'my name is....' and we learnt a little about Chinese culture which the class found fascinating.<br />
