Environmental Action Elective snaps

Just some views of the students in action throughout term 3's elective:Environmental Action.

We Won!!!!!

We helped our school WIN!!!!!

Room 1 were part of a small group of classrooms who gave their ideas to Mrs Bassett to help her to complete the application form for the TREEmendous makeover competition.  

The 'student voice' was an important part of the process as we shared our ideas to show that we saw were key in the designs.  We also gave feedback as to what the next generation of students might want to see being included in their school environment.   

We are part of a group of Change Makers who have started the process of the TREEmendous makeover for HNI.

Although the makeover won't be starting until 2015, we are all delighted to be part of the first steps.

Way to go Room 1!!!

Tellagami for using persuasive language to sell a product

WALT: create a radio advertisement that will hook a listener through the ideas being spoken and the format I have used. It will be 30 seconds long.
My radio advertisement is about a blender, I chose this product because everyday juicers and blenders doesn't work any more and easily breaks. 

This is MJ's work using the Tellagami app to present his persuasive ideas in an oral format.  It is another way to show the thinking that goes into a radio advertisement.  The students needed to use modality as well to emphasize the key words and phrases in order to catch the listener's attention. 

Georgia's Sell a Story - Wonder Book Trailer

As part of our reading programme, each student was assked to create a book trailer to advertise the book they had just finished reading. Some studetns chose to do a Prezi, Wevideo, I-Movie, Flipagram, Powtoon and Camtasia. The results were very impressive. Goergia's was just an example of one. The Walt was: to persuade someone to read the book after viewing the book trailer.

Room 1 Mufti Day - 70s, 80s and 90s attire.

We are standing in front of one of the walls Room 1 students have painted as part of the work Mr jordan carried out with the class. After looking at grafitti and street art, every student created a stencil that could be spray painted onto a wall.  These are just some of them.  Certainly beats having a blank wall in the playground.

Thinking and creativity in Action

Room 1 are Winners!!!
