Celebrating our Oceans with Sea Month

This term we have been learning all about our oceans as part of ‘Sea Week’ which stretched out to ‘Sea Month’. This is the link to the learning on our class site and the wonderful website Young Ocean Explorers.

We enjoyed a trip out to Coopers Beach as part of our Sea Month learning. We worked together to create a Sea Week sculpture, we picked up lots of rubbish and had a lovely time swimming and playing at the beach. It was wonderful to spend time together outside the classroom.

As part of our learning, the students learnt how to create a google slide deck to share some of their learning. We had experts who had used google slides before and they were able to teach others. Thank you Te Reinga, Sophia, Toby and Nathanael. The students learnt how to:

  • change the font size, type and colour
  • change the background colour and customise the design
  • insert a picture into the slide and change the size

There are a few more to add as we had some of our students away today. Overall there was lots of enthusiasm in this learning, and although some of the google slides are not quite finished, the students did a great job!

Well done to Te Reinga, Mia and Nova who worked on their slides in their own time at home. Now that is really self directed learning.
