Mathletics-3 in a row

Wow, students are getting higher and higher on the Mathletics Hall of Fame. Great to see them challenging themselves.

Another Mathletics Hall of Fame-Victoria

Awesome work Victoria for getting 16th in NZ.

Morning question-weekend sport

Every morning before school students answer a morning question. Sometimes the teacher writes it, but usually one of the students write it. This was this mornings question.


It's great to see so many students involved in weekend sports.

Digital citizenship-Pause and Think Online video

We are starting to learn about digital citizenship, what it means and how we can be good digital citizens.

First we brainstormed what we thought it meant. These are some of our ideas:
-Digital-devices like laptops,ipads and computers.
-Treating things like phones with respect.
·    -Being responsible online.
·    -Not searching up bad things or inappropriate things.
·    -Treating things the way we want to be treated.
·    -Going on the websites you have been told to.
-Being a citizen (like a citizen of New Zealand) of digital things.

Then we watched this catchy video about digital citizenship. It was made by Common Sense Media. Their website is www.commonsensemedia.org.





These are the words of the song.


Next we are going to look at what the song is telling us, and what that actually means.
