Today we learnt how to use Storyrobe. In groups we played different maths games and then we made movies about them. We had to take photos of us playing the game. Then we uploaded to Storyrobe. Next we recorded our voice for each photo. Once we had finished we played the movie to check if we made any mistakes. Then we showed our teacher. Miss Gentil had to help us upload them to YouTube.
Here are a couple of the movies we made today.

The Ant and the Grasshoppers
This is my book for this week. I enjoyed recording my voice. I made a few mistakes, but then I recorded my voice properly after lots of practising. When I went to Mr T he said he was impressed and Miss Gentil said she was proud of me. I got a principal's award sticker from Mr T. I hope you enjoy the video.

Our Blog About Emperor Penguins
For Adventure Learning we are learning about Emperor penguins. Today we created a new blog so we can share our learning about penguins with the world. I also made a QR code. When you scan it, it will take you to our blog. We are going to print the QR code and stick it onto the whiteboard. We hope you enjoy reading our blog. We would love some comments. What would you like to know about Emperor penguins?

The Traveling Rhino Project
In Room 8 we are participating in the Traveling Rhino Project. There are five rhinos that are traveling to schools all over the world. The Traveling Rhino Project is about teaching children about rhinos and how we can save them from becoming extinct. We want people to stop poaching the rhinos for their horns.
The rhino we are hosting in our class is called Lesedi. She has all over Australia and NZ. This is what she looks like.
Today we explored the Save Our Rhinos wiki page. We learnt that there are five different species of rhino. The black became extinct in 2013 because people kept poaching. It makes us disappointed that people are doing this. The black rhinos had the biggest horns so we think that's why they became extinct first. People think that they can use the horns to make medicine to make people better, but it's not true. We are going to think of some ideas to try to help save the rhino and teach other people about why it's important.
We read this story below. You might like to read it at school or at home.
