Room One Auroa Primary - As Mapped by Nexus from Singapore!

Already this year we've been involved in some great collaborations involving the use of various programes.  We've created three dimensional models of the Third Grade Thinkers from the USA and our friends from Selwyn House, Christchurch.  Recently our friends from Nexus International School went through the process of creating a model of our classroom.   They intially asked for volunteers on their class page.  Meg and Will left comments describing our classroom.  Last Friday they Skyped our classroom for further information.   Alyssa lead this learning conversation.   Today in class we saw the first stage - the students of Nexus putting together and describing their two dimensional models of Room One, Auroa Primary School.  How accurate was it? Well you'll have to stay tuned.  This is the video produced by Fabulous Five @ Nexus, Singapore, describing Auroa Primary School, Taranaki, New Zealand.

Room One Auroa Primary School - Helping Out Room 8

Room Eight have just started a project involving digital photography with the rewards of house tokens for those students who complete the tasks.  There are two parts here were students from Room One could help out.

Read Miss Nicholas' post: what is the learning intention for this task? What is she asking to be completed? What material do you need to produce? What is the focus of the task?  Room Eight are very lucky because they have already had material posted on their page from another school.  You can click on that link here.   You can also read the original post and request here.

This post here is the one encouraging students to complete the task.  It has a detailed explanation about what is required including the Mathematics behind the task.   Remember Miss Nicholas is a creative person so the more interesting that your photographs and posts would be the more likely that she is going to like it and publish it on your blog.  

Secondly she is looking for classes from anywhere to complete the task.  Who have we networked with online who might complete this task? What information would you need to give to them? How can you make sure if you complete the task that you will get the recognition that you deserve?  Assembly is this Friday which dosen't give you long to meet the deadline, however the criteria are very straight forward.,
