Taranaki the Kiwi's last Day in New Zealand

We're very lucky to be involved in some great projects this year - one of which is involved some amazing friends, some we've met before and some we're just in the process of meeting.    If you go to Mrs Yollis's amazing classroom and see this post you can see about one of the subjects heading our way!

However our first guest is leaving shortly all the way from England! Foxy Jack will be with Room Three shortly.  You can read details of the project here.

It was also our projects animals last day here in New Zealand.  Taranaki the Kiwi had his last day at Auroa Primary School before he travels the world.  Ashley and Aroha from Room Three created this slideshow of his farewell day!

Haiku Deck about Auroa Primary School

Today in class we looked at using 'Haiku Deck' as a way of displaying information. As part of the Global Blogging Challenge we made a connection from Austin Texas with Mrs Kriese's Classroom. They created a Haikau Deck about their home town and state of Austin, Texas - which inspired us to do the same. Most of our class were unfamiliar with Haiku Deck but we had a tight deadline, which was to plan, complete from scratch and publish a Haiku Deck about our area. These are two examples from the students of Auroa Primary School about our School and area:
