Bigfoot Bike Adventures and more...

Our first five day week of the year has been jam packed with loads of things happening.  On Monday we welcomed James into Room 8 for our first cyber smart lesson.  After a quick password recap, we explored the fantastic screencastify app and began to use this as a tool for recording ourselves and teacher others some of the tips and tricks we have already picked up with our chromebooks.  This really set us up well of the two Kawa of Care parent sessions we had on Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. We got to share our learning with our parents and after one more session the chromebooks will start to go home, how exciting...

We also spent part of Monday and Tuesday engaging in some cycle safety work and practicals with Courtenay and Craig from Bigfoot Adventures.  Our highlight was definitely getting to show off our skills outside on bikes and develop more road awareness.

Safety first 

Ready to ride

The perfect way to signal a turn

Unfortunately the wet weather came in at the end of the week and our annual trip to Cornwallis has been postponed for a fortnight.  However, this means we have another thing to look forward to and another busy week ahead with our upcoming Community Barbecue and Umu night.

Out of the box day

Room 8, and the whole senior syndicate have certainly hit the ground running! This year we are all going digital, meaning we will be using chromebooks to support our learning.  

Thursday was our first day back and after restful and relaxing summers we finally got to get our hands on these devices. With much excitement and concentration we have had a fantastic two days of focused learning, book marking our class site, accessing files and making sure they go to the right place.
