Today we had some of the Stardome team come and help us fly our, mostly, student lead rockets. McCahon class, the class I am in, won the highest flight award which the video above shows. Nisha, Simeon, Arnav and I were the makers or engineers of the rocket. We also designed it and it was so awesome having our class room mates praise us. If you would like to see the actual rocket, comment down below and I will upload some close ups!
Thanks for posting Evanjaline! Her original blog post can be found here: Flying Rockets!
Today I was looking through Room 8 Paerata's School Blog (because it was for quad blogging in my Class Room) and was looking for a Blog Post I could comment on but then I saw nothing I was interested in. But when I looked again on their Blog I found a Blog Post that hooked me in when I first saw it.
What is Quad Blogging?
Quad Blogging is a new term/concept that has 4 schools blogging in a cycle that helps people view and comment on students blogs.
And here is a snap shot of the Blog Post that had hooked me in:
Also here is a snap shot of my Blog Comment I had posted on their Blog Post:

We've been flipping lessons in class and now we're using the iPads to share our learning and make our own tutorials.
Here are Evajaline's, Toma's and Hati's efforts!
This is my first Explain Everything video of 2015. This tutorial shows you how to use rounding and compensating when adding decimals. My two stars is that I loved that Explain Everything captured everything I drew on the Ipad and that I could change the colours I was first given. My wish for next time is that I stay still so that the speaker isn't blocked.
I think I did well, anyway, it was my first time! It was really fun playing around with Explain Everything on the iPads! I love learning about new tools on the iPods and iPads. The best part about this adventure was trying out the new ways of writing, erasing, colours etc. Technology is so great!
Star: I think I was good at explaining the strategy and it made it easier to understand
Star: I think it was simple and I did not make it difficult to see or understand what I was saying
Wish: I wish for me to get used to this app and learn to make my words more interesting and me sounding like I am more into maths
Hi my name is Hati. This my first video on my blog and it tells you how to use rounding and compensating I hope you enjoy it.
