R11/12 sings Moana's theme song

Enjoy our class singing the theme song from Moana. 

Mr Reid.

Today at our assembly every class performed an item about the pacific islands. Room 1 performed a Samoan Sasa and Room 5 sang a lovely Samoan song called 'Le Aute'. After that it was time for Room 6 to perform their item, I really liked room 6's performance because they performed a Samoan and Tongan item. Then it was finally our turn, we performed a song called 'How Far I'll Go' by Auli'i Cravalho and we were AWESOME!!!! By Julianne

Room 12 Helps Us Out!

This afternoon 4 students from Room 12 (Miria, Don, Elizabeth and Damien) popped into our room to show us how to embed videos, improve the layout of our presentations and use animations and backgrounds in our inquiry learning.

 They explained how to transfer our hydropower information from google docs to google slides. The session was awesome with these expert learners from Room 12 sharing their knowledge and teaching us new tips and tricks.
