Creating Toys
Over Term 2 Tumeke 12 learnt all about the Design Process through exploring toys. We had been finding out lots about Haiti and what it was like there for kids.
So we used that as the 'problem' for our design process and we made toys for the kids of Haiti that they could make easily from bits of rubbish and things around the house.
In this video you can see some of the things we used to make our toys with. We collected all these things from our house and saved them from the rubbish bins! After this you will then see our finished toys. They are pretty amazing!

Holiday Videos
At the start of Term 2, Tumeke 12 worked hard at writing recounts of a holiday event and then recording them as video's. They used some steps to help make sure they were making their story interesting for their audience.
These are the things that they assessed themselves on:
* I spoke with a clear voice.
* I used a good pace that wasn't too fast or too slow.
* I used interesting expression.
* My story was interesting for my audience.
It has been a VERY busy term and we have just loaded the last of the video's. Tumeke 12 would love your feedback on their videos - as you are their audience! We will be recording some more videos using a cue prompter to help us look at the camera when we talk. Thank you for watching our videos and leaving us a comment to help us improve our learning!

How to Live on Earth
We are learning how to write instructions for an audience. In class we have looked at all the things we need in our instructions to make them great. When we write instructions we look for things like...
* A title telling us what the instructions are for
* A list of all the things our audience will need
* Bullet points or numbered steps
* Instructions that are in order
* Short, sharp sentences
* Imperatives or Bossy words to start each instruction
Our friend Zog is coming to Earth but was scared because he doesn't know how to live on our planet. So we wrote him instructions explaining to him how to live. Click on the picture below to check out our book for Zog!
