Skype with Room 5

By -
Today we had practices at reading a story using skype. We rang Room 5 after morning tea. Anna read the story and Georgia was the camera kid. It was a bit tricky at first but she got the hang of it. Room 5 was a great audience.

After lunch Room 5 rang us. They wanted to read us a story. They read us two stories. One was The Moon and the other story was about cleaning your teeth. The readers read very clearly.
  
We hope we can share our reading with Room 5 again soon.

    Hi! Hannah,
    Maybe we could skype your class. We could read you a story or you could read us a story. We could tell you a bit about ourselves or we could share our learning with you.
    That would be a cool thing to do as we really enjoy looking at your blog.

    Hi,

    We are really looking forward to skyping with you tomorrow. I wonder what book you decided to read! What a great way to practise using skype to make a call to another classroom!

    See you tomorrow!

Class Treaty

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.

You connect with them by looking at and commenting on their blogs. We will find out what they are learning about. We hope to also learn about their countries.
