Google Expeditions

GOOGLEmorning everyone,

The start of week 7 has been AWESOME! Yesterday, we were lucky enough to experience what you call 'Google Expedition'. The entire school was able to have a go experiencing different places around the world in 3D, using something called Google Cardboards (the brown boxes the kids are looking through)
Miss Vaivai, went through the rules to make sure that we knew what we were and weren't allowed to do. Then, they handed us a google cardboard each and then it was adventure time. We first went to the great deep ocean. It felt like we were actually swimming with the fish and other sea creatures. It was amazing. Miss Vaivai chose the places we went to using an ipad. We travelled to the seas of American Samoa, to the Sahara Desert, visited the Congan Community, walked up Mount Rushmore and even had a look in the beautiful city of Singapore. Here are some of our pictures from our experience. ENJOY!

"Wow, look at that man on the mountain"

"Can I see if yours is the same as mine Sione?"

"Wow, I'm swimming with the sharks!"

Miss Vaivai capturing our excitement!

"Look! There's a shark!"

Judison says this is better than the movies

"WooooooooW"

Here is a short video of our reaction to the different places we went to using our awesome google cardboards. 

Rowandale Primary Music Showcase

On Friday the 13th of November, our class had the opportunity to perform for the school Music Showcase. This was a time fore each class to show what they had learnt during their Jelly Beans Sessions for the past 4 weeks. We decided that we wanted to show the school and our parents that we learnt how to keep a rhythm and sing unison as a class. With the help of Toops, our Jelly Beans instructor we created our very own version of 'Flashlight'. We had Vaueli and Ma-Jireh sing solo parts and the class as a choir. As we practised it was hard for us to sway and bounce at the same time. It was so hard, that we even thought of not moving at all, but as you watch performance, you will see that we did it, when it counted most. We had so much fun and felt very proud when we walked off the stage and heard our family cheering. Enjoy our performance!

Being Sun Smart

Wow, what a weekend!
Halloween fun and treats on saturday and then to top off the weekend, our amazing ALLBLACKS won the Rugby World Cup 2015. We really are the best rugby team in the WHOLE world.
We were so excited to come to school this morning to talk about our weekend!
Today, the fun still continued. First of all, our teacher is BACK but she returned with two extra legs (crutches). She has been away for a week because she had knee surgery. So we have been very helpful in making sure the class is clean so that she doesn't trip up on anything. Secondly, we were given visors this morning in our house colours. We are to wear it every time we are outside for either morning play, Lunch play and sports. This keeps us protected from the sun and become a little more sun smart. We cant wait to see what else we will be doing this week. Stay tuned!
