07/03/2011 - TeKids Week 6 St James School

Today at TeKids we read a book called "Where the Sea Meets the Land", it was a great story with amazing illustrations! We were asked some questions while the story was being read to us. The story is about a rainforest in Australia - The Daintree Rainforest. At the end they talked about how they were going to build a resort in the rainforest - this meant removing homes that the animals lived in, destroying the once beautiful rainforest! - Braedon. After reading the story we had to select a web 2.0 tool to mind map (bubbl.us or mindmeister) we used bubbl.us becuase the other one took too long to load! On our map we listed all our thoughts and feelings about the Daintree forest. You will see these on here. - Sophie. We then went on sweetsearch (a safe way to search for children) to find out more information about the Daintree Rainforest. We added this to our mind map. - MacKenzie. After gathering all our information we were asked to create a poster to persuade the government to NOT build the resort. To do this we had a list of web 2.0 tools to choose from. We used Pikikids (see link) and Wordle. - Isaac.

With only two TeKids here today we are looking forward to sharing what we learnt with the other two and then with our classes back at school. The children that presented today will be sharing this again at the student led conference - this gave us some ideas on how to improve our own presentation. media type="custom" key="9878923"media type="custom" key="9878933"media type="custom" key="9975135"
