Latest news from Room 10

It has been a very exciting and busy week in Room 10!

Firstly, we had a wonderful trip to Sylvia Park on Wednesday to watch the 9th Manaiakalani Film Festival and our own class movie, Gotta Read 'Em All, on the big screen. A great adventure! Thank you all for continuing to support your child's learning by leaving positive comments about our movie on the class blog. Ka mau te wehi!

Also, our Year 5 students in Room 10 now have the opportunity to learn at home using their personal Chromebooks. Thank you to our whānau who visited during the week to make this happen and to check out what Cybersmart learning looks like in action.

Quality blog comments

Your amazing children are creating short videos using their Chromebooks to share why and how blog-commenting is important to them. Here are two finished examples.




As part of their learning at home next week, they will ask you to check out their blog and write a quality blog comment about one of their blog posts.

There are still opportunities for you to do some Chromebook training with Yayleen, Manaiakalani's Whānau Learning Kaiarahi, if you would like your child to bring their Chromebook home more often.

What is a Chromebook?

A group of students created a screencast to tell you a little bit about a Chromebook and why we use these devices rather than another kind of laptop or tablet. If you want to know anything else, please leave a comment!

How to get the Chromebooks home more often!

You can be proud that your children are being responsible with their Chromebooks at school. Ka mau te wehi! They have quickly got into the routine of taking their chromebooks home twice each week to keep learning at home. They are remembering to bring the Chromebooks back to school the next morning.

Now there is the opportunity for your child to bring the Chromebook home more often.  For this to happen, you will need to meet with Yayleen Hubbard, the Manaiakalani Whānau Learning Kaiarahi, to have some whānau training. This is the training that we talked about at our chromebook celebration. This training will last for about one hour and Yayleen can come to your house, or meet you at school or at the library. It is your choice! Here are Yayleen's contact details.  She would love to hear from you, and your children would love to bring their Chromebooks home more often!
