Medieval Times

So far in the Medieval Times unit ive learnt many fascinating things like the history of medieval times, ranks of workers (ect: king, bishop,peasant), the life of peasants,castles,farming and armor/weapons. Medieval Times has really been a great unit, in every way.The best part is making the medieval newspapers and the medieval minecraft village that we built. Its all been worth while and i cant wait to have the big battle on minecraft with rm11.SURELY WE WILL WIN!

Electives

For a couple of terms we've been doing electives. in it we learnt a variety of fun and educational activities. These are some electives we did: -Masterchef -creative computers -science -band -technology The two i picked to do were Masterchef and Creative computers. Creative computers was fun because we learnt many skills in movie making and Minecraft building.I also did Masterchef in which i learnt to not just cook but cooperate with others in my group.We made different dishes from other countries not just nz.I believe that electives was worth while because it gives us children to do something that we are passionate about and learn about it every Friday.

Mt Cook Technology

Over the past few weeks we have been travelling to Mt Cook school for technology. I learnt a lot in each unit and loved every bit. I started in Movie Making, learning loads of editing and filming skills. Then i moved on to Electronics which i found very fascinating,as we were creating circuit boards that lit up and made a beeping sound. Lastly i did wood work, in which we built wooden spoons using various machines and skills.I cant wait for more tech at Mt Cook and bet it will get even better in the further weeks.
