My Speech 2016

If room 4 and 7 had 1:1 chromebooks in each classroom it would be nice to have one each. At the moment we have to share, and wait for someone else to finish so that we can use them. Let me tell you why I think we need one each.

If we had 1:1 chrome books in Room 4 and 7 We would not need to borrow each other's  chromebooks any more. Teachers would like that because they would not need to tell their students to go and borrow some from another classroom.  

If room 4 and room 7 were doing something on the chromebooks and they didn't have enough,  they wouldn’t need to go to all the other classes in search of chromebooks that are spare  and then walk very slowly back to their classroom. All the people will be able to keep one in their desks so they would be quick and easy to get and use.

If we had enough chrome books in the class for everyone it would mean that people would not need to get the iPad to type on.  We have discovered that iPads are hard to type on because they don't have a keyboard to type on. It doesn’t have as many things to use and it is not as quick or as easy as on a chromebook.

If a word is wrong you can't right click when you’re using an iPad. Chromebooks are much easier to work on for writing than the ipads are. We use our chrome books every day for reading, writing, Inquiry and sometimes maths. It would be great if we could all be on at once.

Students would have to be responsible for the chrome book. If you damaged a chromebook you would have to pay to get it fixed or replaced.  Chromebooks are very expensive and they cost a lot of money. If you hold it by the lid it might snap off and when I say off I mean right off.

That would be so naughty thing to do , you would be in a lot of trouble. If we had 1:1 chrome books we could be assigned one each, so the teachers would know whose chromebook it was and who had caused any damage. This would be a very good idea. Years 7-10 all have 1;1 chromebooks and they are finding it great.

It has been really great getting chromebooks in our class, and we use them all the time, but it would be great if we could all be on one at the same time instead of sharing, or having to use some other kind of device. So it would be really nice if room 4 and room 7 did have 1:1 chromebooks. We would treat them very responsibly and we would use them very well, So can we please have a chromebook each???????????

Poppy comes for a visit

This morning for my morning talk I shared about my pet kitten Poppy. She is five months old and we have had her for three weeks. She really liked her visit to the class and spent her time exploring.

Cross county. 2016.

 When I arrive at Gabriel's  gully I was excited and ready to run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am ready to race the year 3 + 4 girls and the 7 year old girls from Lawrence area school and Waitahuna school. I learned a lot and saw a lot of different things. 

This is room 4 at Gabriel's gully really excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in the back and people were in front of me. That is why you can't see me that well. We only had 16 people in our classroom. Archie and Kade were sick. 

I am at the turn when you come past the duck pond. Katie is behind me and I have the stitch! OW!!!!!! I came 9th in the cross county and I got an ice-block in the end and it was white.
