My Onomatopoeia Poem

At the park I like to hear....
The cracking of the see saw jumping up and down
The swish, swash of the swing moving forward and back
The squeak of the slide as you head down
The slippery pole as you go straight down to the ground
The stomping feet on the steps
The rubbing on the monkey bars

And finally the joyful, laughter and yelling children!

Block A Evacuation

On the 7th of September which was two weeks ago at Dannevirke South School, block A was evacuated. I walked into the school and seen that there is caution tape in the area that is now out of bounds. It is unsafe to be around this area because if there is an earthquake or something similar the roof may fall.

Kahurangi Dance

Friday 9th March, the kahurangi dance people came to Dannevirke South School. Then they performed in our school hall.
The performance was about the traditions of different islands and country’s. The people that performed were four gentle men and two ladies. The man who started of the show was a man name Lucky. Then three other gentle men came and they were talking about the drums and other instruments from Tahiti!
What I thought about the Kahurangi dance was a good experience, learning about the different cultures and how they done it.

Getting started with netbooks

Getting started with Netbooks

For the last three weeks being in a digital class, room 16 students have been using new electronic technology machines called netbooks. Netbooks are like mini laptops and they practically, exactly do the same thing as a laptop. We can only use Netbooks at School (Dannevirke South). We use netbooks for things like homework, games that are to do with learning and class work but we also do work in our books.We can do work at home on the computer/laptop if we need to finish of anything. Lately on netbooks we have been going on google apps. Room 16 have been trying our best to be self-directed learners.
