COWS at school!

MSS has recently purchased 16 mini laptops called COWs (Computers On Wheels). They are fantastic. Room 7 has been using them to do Mathletics this week as well as work on our Disaster Powerpoint presentations. There are enough for one between 2 people so we can work together easily on our projects in class. They are stored on a special trolley that can then be wheeled to the next classroom.

Here you can see James and Lucas concentrating hard on their laptops. Some people in the class are extra clever at using powerpoint as well as other computer programmes so they are then able to go round and help others who don't quite have the same skills yet. It's like having several teachers in the class! Miss R says it is wonderful to see everyone in the class so focused and motivated to learn. Keep up the fantastic work Room 7.

Tane's new glasses

Check out Tane's new glasses...they look very cool. They make you look very smart and sophisticated Tane! We like the funky green pattern on the sides...you will have to take really good care of them so they don't get damaged at school.

Go Zone NiE

Room 7 really enjoy reading Newspapers in Education. This months issue is called "Erupting Earth" and its all about volcanoes. It links well to our study on Disasters. Here you can see some students working on their Go Zones together. NiE are full of interesting facts and colourful pictures.

Did you know......that the biggest volacno in the world is in Hawaii?

Did you know ....... there are three types of volcanoes - cone, shield and caldera?
