The Viewer: Capturing Restless Sleep

We are using Shaun Tan's 'The Viewer' to support our Writing. Today we captured photos of a 'restless sleep' which Tristan (the main character) has after seeing the images through the viewer he found.
We'll be posting more of our learning here and on our blogs.
Listen to Hati and Johan explain what they were doing in the photo below.

** Photo and audio to follow (the boys are working on it!)

Teach The Teacher Session 9: Samoan Games!

What a fun way to end 'Teach the Teacher' for Term 2. I learnt a new game and I think the teachers learnt it was important to give clear instructions.
This is a game I think I will use for warm-ups in PE lessons in the future.

Jeanett and Saunoa, I am not sure how to spell the name of the game - can you please add it in the comments section below?
Thanks!

Teach The Teacher Session 8: Hockey Skills!

I had so much fun during yesterday's lessons that I had to invite Mrs. Wright to this lesson too. We learnt a few new tricks and I have realised it is REALLY hard to keep your legs bent, keep and eye on the ball but ALSO to look up so you know where you are going!
We have some fantastic hockey players in our class and they were fantastic teachers too!

Teach The Teacher Session 5: Learning About the Samoan Culture

Great work team! I have got some home learning to do over the holidays - my aim is to learn some basic Samoan phrases that I can use in class!

Teach The Teacher: Session 4 Creating a D&D Character

Thanks for the introduction to D&D Johan! I took some great ideas for story writing! 

Teach The Teacher Session 3: Gaming and Consoles

This session reminded me of a game I used to play a LONG time ago - Age of Empires!
I also learnt a bit more about Minecraft and have asked the boys to help me out with tips, tricks and how to's for my niece who is coming to stay in the holidays.
I am LOVING learning such a cross section of new things!

Teach The Teacher Session 2: Soccer tricks!

Session 2: Arnav, Shahid and Rita taught 4 tricks - Rainbow Flick, Around the World, Scorpion and Step Over. My next step is to practice at home over the holidays.
I kind of got the hang of the Rainbow Flick, but I have a long way to go!
Thanks for encouraging me everyone!

Teach The Teacher: session 1
