DigitalNZ

The National Library of New Zealand are collaborating with organisations throughout New Zealand including Te Papa and other museums to design easy ways of finding, sharing and using New Zealand's digital items. The place to explore this is Digital NZ.

On November 11 it was the 90th anniversary of the signing of the Armististice to end World War 1 so we made a movie in class using digital material on the Coming Home Memory Maker site. Later that week some room 5 people showed their families how to make a digital movie using this site.

Check out our movies.

ICT Expo

We went for a bus trip to Victory School hall today because lots of schools were showing the work they have been doing this year with computers, cameras, voice recorders and other technology. We saw some of the movies that Room 5 made earlier this year.

" I liked the magnifying wand," said Hannah.

" I Liked how you could make realistic people on the Marvin programme," said Josh.

"I thought the photo booth was cool because it made you look funny"

"I thought the robotic toys were really cool. My favourite one was the bear that played a drum," said Rohan O.

" I liked the monkey playing the tambourine," said Thomas.

Halloween

We are learning about the diverse ways that people celebrate their special occasions.
We interviewed Natayla's father Peter to learn how he celebrated Halloween when he was a child and to discover how Halloween celebrations have changed in USA and New Zealand.
