After that we got to editing using imovie.As well as doing all of that we also created a billboard and a presentation showing our process.

Bat Detectives

Over the week our reading group “Angels” have been learning about bats and their natural habitats. We’ve made posters with evidence to show how much we have learnt about bats but, sadly there aren’t many around anymore.  One of the main causes for this is when people moved to New Zealand from other countries they brought pests with them.  The pests are one of the biggest threats to bats.  New Zealand has two types of bats, long-tailed bats and short-tailed bats. We watched also watched a documentary about Bats that we wrote facts from too. The scientist in the documentary created experiment where they could record how bats fly, so for example they create a wind tunnel and recorded in slow motion their flying patterns this helped people to look at how planes and flying things were made.  We learnt lots of new information, it was easy and challenging, and loads of FUN!

Community Topic

In room 6 we have been learning about community. Each group had a different topic to research and the topics were teamwork, leader, leadership, effective communication, role model and responsible leader. All of the groups had to define their topics, into a small paragraph.

First of all we made teams to do research on our word. Second we made our definition and wrote it in our books. Then we typed it up on the computer and printed it and stapled it on the wall. We enjoyed doing research on community because we found out lots of information that we did not know before.

We are learning about community because we need to understand what a community means for the future. Community is important for us to understand and to be social with others. We live in a community, so we should know what a community is. One thing we have learn is that you can’t have a community without a group of people.
