Kawa of Care - Chromepets

 Today we were comparing caring for a pet with caring for our Chromebook.

We thought that we feed our pet food so we feed our device power by plugging it in. 

Some of us thought that we carry our pet gently so we carry our device with two hands in a hug hold.

Some of us thought that our pet is entertaining to be with and we use our device to learn with.

We were using drawing tools in Google Slides to create our Chromepet. 

We used an image of a Chromebook as the face.

Lots of us added shapes to create the rest of our Chromepet. 

We inserted an image by searching for "fur" then masked the image to make the body of our pet. 

Here is some of our work from today. We haven't quite finished our creations. 

Next week we will be posting these on our own blogs.

Room 3 2021

 Here is Room 3!

We are a bunch of keen learners at St Mary's Catholic Primary School.

We use our Chromebooks everyday when learning.

Do you use devices? 

Horouta Animation

 

Today I made an animation about the Horouta waka story. I enjoyed making the slides. 

Exploring the 'e' sound

 

For spelling, we are learning the code! We had to explore the long e sound. We used answer garden to record our words as a group. Next time we would have to be careful to say the word out aloud to make sure that it does not make the short e sound. 

Crime Scene

Last week we were learning about forensic science. Today we had a crime scene we had to analyse. I enjoyed learning about the crime scene. Next time I would want to have another crime scene to anlayse.

Chemical and Physical change

 We have been learning about chemical and physical changes in science. A physical change can be undone like mixing ingredients together, you could go back and sift out the ones you want and separate them again. Whereas a chemical change changes the ingredients into something else. When you bake a cake you cannot then separate the ingredients from each other. 

We made sherbet in class and experimented on the chemical change that happened in our mouths when the citric acid mixed with the baking soda which is a base.
