Our Blog



We are a year 5/6 (9-10 year olds) class from Bairds Mainfreight Primary School in Auckland, NZ.

You can see some of our learning that took place in Room 12 in 2010 and 2011.

NB: I have moved to a new school now so this blog is no longer active. You are still welcome to comment and look at the great fun we had over the past two years.

Thank you for all the lovely comments :)

New Look news

We were inspired by our friends at BPS in Geelong, so we got out of the classroom and reported about the school, around the school!

News Changes

We are trying some changes to our news format.
We are using the digital camera so that we can work on our filming skills as well as our presentation skills. We need to consider new things such as backgrounds and camera angles. Here is out first attempt at our news programme without the webcam.

More Shark News

Here is our response to this story
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10632909


Today we are focusing on Reading, Summarising and Presenting the story. This is the exact same thing that News Producers do.





Reflections

Mele - I think that my reading has improved because i spoke louder and clearer. I would like work on looking straight at the camera.

Week 5 Reflections

Phoenix: I was shy and didn't like talking to the camera and now I like doing webcam stuff. I feel more confident and now I speak louder to the camera.

Michelle: I am getting a little bit good. The first time I couldn't speak because I was too shy and now I'm getting heaps better.

Siaga: When I first talked to the camera I was a little bit scared now I'm feeling good.

Nelson: I felt happy and was excited because i was going to be famous when i first heard about the webcam. When I saw myself i thought that i could improve by looking at the camera and not looking down. Now when i see myself I am looking at the camera and talking to it better.

Tupou: I felt shy at first and now I feel happy that it's finished and I feel cool and popular.

Mrs Jorgensen says: I agree with all of your reflections here! You have made amazing progress in just two weeks. KA PAI! Now that you are confident clear speakers you are ready to work on your expression and delivery of your news stories.






Mrs Jorgensen says: What a sad story you saw on the news, girls.

March 1st News



We were shocked to hear about the Earth-quake in Chile and the Tsunami scare. It reminded us of the Samoan Tsunami last year and, more recently, the cyclone that hit the Cook Islands.

Room 12 News


22 Feb 2009




23 Feb 2009

Reflections:

Wiremu and Logan. Our voices were clear. We needed to manage ourselves better so that it made more sense.

Sarah and Julia. We wrote a good story. We need to speak louder.

Mele and Mereana. We think we need to speak louder. It was sad that there were people not listening propery in the background.

Siaga and Emma. Siaga had a good loud voice. We both need to look at the camera.

Oral Language

Responding to the Herald article on the Shark Attack

We are developing our oral language skills. We are using the webcam so that we can reflect upon our own oral language. As the year goes on we will all be able to see how our oral language and presentation skills progress.
