Reflection of GEG Summit

Sanford gave us a recount and reflection of our day at the GEG summit at Hobsonville Point Primary School.

Maori Language Week

Miss J showed us a book today which related to our challenge for Maori Language Week.  It's called Kei Te Pehea Koe?  The illustrations are pretty cool.  Here is a youtube video of the book if you want to have a look. It's a bit opera-ish and plinky plonky, but the story and illustrations are cool!

Hangout with Jakarta

Yesterday at school Room 22 had the opportunity to have a hangout on air with a school in Jakarta and learn a bit more about their culture and the differences between our school and country, and their school and country.  Please check out the video, it was an awesome learning experience!  Can't wait to do that again!  Miss J


Miss Johnson picked the most responsible of all the kids  (Sela).  A girl named Tania introduced herself and her school - the Singapore International School (Amy).  Then Amy introduced our school to them - ROWANDALE SCHOOL!  Then a boy told us about what's cool in Indonesia.  He even told us some of the islands they have in Indonesia.  Ayush then replied about the cool things in New Zealand which was that we have kiwis and the tallest building is the sky tower.  We asked them what they had for lunch and they said they have fried chicken and we said we have sandwiches.  We asked them do you use technology devices?  They said yes and they said they used iPads and computers.  They then asked us questions like when do we start and finish school and what holidays do we celebrate.  We looked at questions on twitter and we answered it.  Sadly our bell rang and we had to say goodbye!
