Sharon let me know that the “Let the Fun and Olympic Games” page has no place where you can leave a comment :(

I have put the info sheet you were all given at school on the page, as well as some links where you can find some information.

If you have a question or a concern leave a comment here!

See you all school on Tuesday :)

We have been studying the Ocean for a lot of this term and everyone has chosen something interesting to find out about. We all had to “Create Something Extraordinary” about the ocean.

Some people are videoing, some are doing puppet plays, some are making Toondoos and lots are making Vokis to share their information.

Here is the first of our finished presentations. Enjoy!

This is Moustapha’s Shark :)

The Year 4 students in the AllStars are using the school DSLites and the game “Dolphin Island” to investigate marine conservation.

They have to look after sea creatures who have been hurt by human and environmental factors. When they are not playing the game, the students are researching marine animals and adding their info to the class wiki, measuring how big the animals are and drawing the creatures.

What fun :)

We have been making origami whales!

We read about the idea of making these whales at the “Origami Whale Project” site - and how they were used to raise awareness of the slaughter of whales internationally. Did you know that since 1986 over 30 000 whales have been killed by whalers from Iceland, Norway and Japan? 

Everyone folded the paper carefully and we strung the whales up on string to make a curtain of beautiful coloured whales in our room.
