Term 2, Week 4 Camp Brochures

This term our focus genre for writing has been report writing.  We have been using the year six camp at Kawau Island as the topic.  We have just finished publishing some double-sided two-fold brochures to promote the camp to teachers at other schools.

Room 15 have been offered a privileged opportunity. Beginning next week , we will be participating in the Microsoft Digital Learning Experience. Each student will have 1:1 access to a Microsoft Surface tablet, featuring a touch screen and pen. Most of the classroom programme will be based around the devices. We will have use of these devices for three weeks.
