Extreme Eleven @ Hokowhitu School


Today I went to Central Normal School to help run a couple of workshops about ICT. Each teacher was given a buddy teacher from another school so that our classes can share ideas and learn new things. Our newest blogging buddies are Extreme Eleven at Hokowhitu School. You can check out their blog under our 'Blogging Buddies' on the right hand toolbar or just click on this link.

We look forward to getting to know our new ICT buddies!

Happy Feet - Live Feed to the Penguin who is a bit lost!

Happy Feet live
Check out this live stream to Happy Feet the penguin.  The stream says: "Most of the time this picture will be black and white, as we are using an infrared light and camera. This is because the penguin is actually kept in darkness to simulate current conditions in Antarctica, where it is constant night during winter."
Check throughout the day for fresh snow being brought in and feeding times.

I wonder how far Happy Feet has travelled?  I wonder what he has seen?  I wonder what he is feeling?

Thanks 2D at Yugumbir State School!

Today we received a real surprise in the mail. There was a giant envelope with some special gifts from our buddies in 2D.

The first thing we pulled out was a boomerang! We wanted to have a go with it straight away! Then we pulled out letters for each one of us with lots of questions. Finally we found a book called 'It's Lovely When You Smile'. Mrs Bismark is going to read it to us during reading time so we can find out what it is about.

Thank you so much 2D - it was a great surprise for a Monday morning!
