Scratch projects

This term, the students of Team 5 have been exploring different countries around the world as we learnt about the locations of the seven continents. We also spent time learning how to code using Scratch. We took this information and our own Hyperstudio drawings to create our own scratch animations. Here is the movie we showed on PENN this term to showcase some of our work.

Year 8 Leadership Camp - 2019

A couple of weeks ago, the Year 8 students from Pt England School headed off for 3 days and 2 nights to Kauaeranga Christian Camp in Thames. It was an awesome chance for them to step away from their usual school life and take on new challenges and experiences in an unfamiliar environment together with their classmates. Check out Part 2 of their time way in this short movie that screened on PENN (Pt England News Network) today. Enjoy!

Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoan Language Week 2019

"Lalaga le si'osi'omaga mo se lumana'i manuia

Weave an environment for a better future."

This is our theme for Samoan Language Week 2019. In Team 5 we've enjoyed learning words and phrases we can use everyday like saying "tulou". Always excuse yourself if your movements are going to obstruct the view of others.

Check out some highlights from todays assembly.

Fa'afetai ma ia manuia tele le toe vaiaso.

Where in the longitude and latitude are you?

The first part of our inquiry in Team 5 is to navigate our way around the world map. Understanding that there are 7 different continents and in those continents are many different countries such as France, Brazil, America and China. Here are a couple of animations to show you what we've been up to.

The first movie is by Zaeeda and Tha Zin and the second by Jedida and Leilani. Stay tuned later on this term for the 2nd part of our inquiry using our animations in scratch! Enjoy!

Santana's 6 Photos

In room 5 literacy we are learning to identify keywords in order to summarise a text. We summarised the 6 photos we read about in the text. Then had to take our own 6 photos with a summarised description about them.

Hineragi's 6 Photo's

As part of Aces groups' create task, they had to think of 6 places around the school which held fond memories. They then took photos of these places and wrote a short description of their memory at each place.

Check out Hinerangi's 6 photos & fond memories.

Zaeeda's family journey

Check out one of the students in Room 5 and her family's journey.

Hello and welcome to my family's journey. In this I will explain things about my family. I have always lived in the same place in the same house at the same school and I haven't changed ever. So my family journey isn't the most interesting but I hope you enjoy the graphics and writing I left the voice over doesn't explain everything so remember to leave a comment when you've had a look :) Zaeeda's Family Journey from Hi on Vimeo.
