The Creation Story


Room 7 children all contributed to the creation of The Creation Story. With support from Whaea Amanda, children learned to record voices with Garageband and create, add narration and edit the movie with I-Movie. It was a Technological process, with planning, creating, reviewing, editing, changing and presenting.

I am very proud of your efforts Room 7. You showed creativity, perseverance, teamwork and the ability to reflect, review and edit.

We Are Learning to Recall Our Basic Facts

We have been learning basic maths facts using a Whole Brain Teaching method by Chris Biffle.

We sit in pairs and one person answers the facts and the other partner reads the answers and checks that their buddy is answering them correctly. They help out when it is needed.

Children have one minute to answer as many facts as they can and try to beat their previous personal scores.

They are seeing the basic facts, listening to the basic facts and saying the basic facts.
