The Alaskan Adventure

Mr Simon Evans taught the class the other day, while I was learning and sharing with enthusiastic teachers and the "rich kids" in our ICT group at Richmond School. He guided them through the fantastic shared writing activity which produced this story. As he messaged me on the day "Collaborative writing in real time. You should hear the discussion as they type." I have put it together into an e-book using the students' illustrations. Please read Room 16's adventure story!

Here are Simon's rules of participation:

• Stay in your own chapter area
• Work together with your group
• Make constructive comment when you need to
• Check the language you use
• Leave the SHARE option alone

Rock Climbing at Karamu High

Today we got a chance to learn from Karamu High School P.E. students. After getting to know each other, we worked as teams going up and down their rock climbing wall. The year 12 students were awesome teachers and Room 16 were awesome students. We all learnt together. Luckily, we have two more lessons to go!

A big thank you Greg Ross and his wonderful students!
