I liked Ferrymead when we did planting.

Ferrymead was awesome my favorite thing was the stilts. my favorite thing was the train. We wore a suit with a hat,shirt and pants  went everywhere.  My favorite place was the playground because it has a dino slide,monkey bars, rocking hours and a fake train.

We liked Mr Black the best because he was a really good actor.

LC 10 goes SOLO

Watching Youtube helped us understand WHAT SOLO is and HOW to use it effectively and the most important WHY we are using SOLO in LC 10.

WALT use SOLO taxonomy to help us talk about our learning.  Using criteria or learning intentions we placed ourselves on the SOLO continuum. After learning what makes a GREAT photo we shared why we were at that stage. 

We are multi structural because we know what makes a GREAT photo, but we don't always take GREAT photos. 

We are relational because we know what makes a GREAT photo and we take GREAT photos. 

We are extended abstract because we know what makes a GREAT photo, we take GREAT photos, but we also can use our newly found skills to edit, email, export into other apps and can take a range of photos, i.e. action shots.

How to make great a photo

So if you want to make a great photo don't have to much sun or shade because if you have to much sun you can't  see your self and if you have to much shade it's going to make it blurry. You want sun and shade to make a perfect photo.

Walkathon

192 laps was LC 10's combined effort! We had a great time chatting away to our friends, singing songs and of course trying to evade the Zombies on Mrs P's Run Zombie app.  

We were walking up a storm and here are our highlights. 

My highlight was walking with so many children who were trying to walk as many laps as they could, what great self believers you are LC 10!

PS Even though we got caught a few times by those rascally Zombies we collected so many supplies to build our township.  : )

3 Kahuku

Popped into school today and found we had 3 Monarchs bathing in the sun. 2 were recently hatched and one was very content hanging onto KC kid pictures. 

I have also recently found out the Maori name for Monarch is Kahuku (u is pronounced like oo) 

I didn't get any photos as Mrs Busch's children Lachie and Kenzie let them go outside after they had fed them. Jessie McKee also helped. 

There's three more chrysalis' hanging about on the plant. 

I'm afraid this one might not hatch. I noticed the 'gold flecks' were down below and not on top like the others. 

You can see them just at the tip. 

Wild Things

Last weekend I had a show. It was all about drama. Drama means acting. I do drama every Monday afternoon. The shows was called Where the Wild Things Are. I was a wild thing. There were 5 wild things. There were lots of people watching, even the Mayor!

Can you spot Anastasia?
