Room 10 RBS

Today we introduced a new routine – One student has the camera for the day and takes photos on and off during the day.

Today’s photographer was Ben. He seemed to get lots of photos to do with reading. Ms F has made two different types of animations with some of his photos.

In the weekend I stayed the night at my friend Lucy’s house. After I got there and unpacked we set out the beds.

Next we started to play on the computer. We played on the Sims 2 while her mum, Nikki, was cooking dinner. Then we got off the computer because it was Lucy’s sister Charlotte’s go and she is 17 years old.

After that we played a board game. After our board game dinner was ready. We had sushi because that’s Lucy’s favourite.

Finally we went to bed. I was so tired that I went out like a light.

On Saturday I went to Feilding for Feilding Field Days.

Then, when we got there, we couldn’t find my Aunty Linn, so my mum rung her and asked her where she was. As always, she was at the steam trains. At last she caught up with us.

When it was time to leave, I went home on the steam train with my mum and my Aunty.

Finally me, my mum and my Aunty got home. I was glad because I was really tired and was asleep in two minutes!

We made a video today. We took the photos and wrote a sentence about them. Then we used Ms F’s cell phone to record ourselves speaking our sentences. Then Ms F put the photos and sound together to make our first real movie. We hope you enjoy it.

One of the fantastic things for a teacher is seeing students learn about different ways of writing. We’ve been learning about using “time” or “sequence” words to start sentences in our recounts.

Here are some of today’s stories.

On Monday I went to my cousins birthday.

First we went to 10-pin bowling.

Then we had some lollies.

Next we went to the park and had a drink.

Finally we went home.

In the weekend I went to Splash Planet because I had a touch tournament in Napier.

At the end I went to Burger King for dinner. It was fun.

On Saturday me, my Dad and my sister harvested our tomatoes.

We got three ice-cream containers!

I harvested in the garden (with my sister) and my Dad harvested the other side. When I finished my side I helped Dad on his side.

Finally he picked the tomatoes I missed.

Our tomatoes taste great.

Eli made two movies to go with this story. And I got some of the tomatoes – they are very delicious. (Ms F)

Yesterday I didn’t go to my sister’s birthday because it wasn’t for boys. So I stayed at my shop to play on my bike and scooter.

Then my brother Joshua and I played on the playstation. After that we ate our dinner.

Finally we went to bed.

At school we have been talking about Our Place, Our Space.

This week we brainstormed the different places we like to go to at school.

Then we walked around the school and took photos of all those places.

Some people like other rooms because their friends or their siblings were in those rooms. Someone even liked the Dental Clinic! Some people liked special parts of our classroom like the reading corner or the couch. Ms Fothergill really likes the couch!

After we had brainstormed what each of the pictures might mean we wrote our own stories about the pictures. Here are some of them:

One day a girl went for a walk to the Adventure Park.

First she played in the underground tunnel.

Next she went to climb a tree.

After that she went down a slide.

Then she caught a bus and went home.

By JM

Once upon a time a troll named Lia was walking to her pot.

Then a big bird flew down and almost got her, but she hid just in time.

When it was gone she climbed up to her slide.

Then she fell down into her pool for a paddle.

By DA

Once upon a time there lived a troll called Dood.

One day she decided to go for a walk. She found a pot plant with a tree in it so she hopped into it and hid, but nobody came.

Then she climbed a bit higher.

Next she climbed right to the top to look at the view for a while.

After that she got a bit bored so she decided to slide down to go home and have a quiet rest after all that climbing.

While Ms F was at the Learning@School conference she learned about 5 frame digital story telling. Ms F and Mrs M took some photos to tell a story. When Room 10 looked at the photos they came up with all the things they thought could be happening in each photo.
