Pride

In room 8 we have been focusing on pride this term 

I've been typing up what pride means 

Hopscotch

This is one of the things I do for managing ourself time 

Cross country

Clive kids x-country

It was a sunny but wet day at clive school. Wednesday the 2nd of September 2015. Where the clappers clapped and the loud and cheerful

Supporters were. Lined up were nervous runners. 8 year old runners up to 11 year old runners. The crowd and the supporters were going wild and screamed out

"you can do this"

As runners go past

First up were the 8 year olds fast and pumped to start the race. Running around the field and down muddy creek and around room 5,4 and 3

Doing it 2 times . 9 year olds had to run around the field to the church 2 times and past room 5,4 and 3 also doing it 2 times. 10 and 11 year olds had to run around the field to the church 2 times and past room 5,4 and 3 also doing it 2 times.  

These are the people that came first:

Bayley Max Tama Ava Rico Zoe Bayden and Danielle.

I strongly believe that we should not have free time on iPads unless we are using learning apps. Playing games does not help with learning.

Evidence shows that these apps will increase our learning; Sumdog, Hopscotch, Math Panda, Kiwi Kid News, Storybird and

Fractions. Hopscotch is especially good because it is used for working out percentages and making repeating  patterns.

As we know there are heaps of games that have been released from the App Store and played world wide. For example Crossy Road and Minecraft are two popular games. These are the most distracting games in the world and do not help with our learning. They take over our learning time and our brains. We should not use games at school. We should not get free time on iPads for this reason.

It is obvious that during Managing Ourselves time we use good learning apps to catch up on work we need to do or finish. We use our iPads for working on things like vocabulary, Blogs, Kiwi Kid News and other learning apps. This a good way to use our iPads because we are using learning apps.

In conclusion I think iPads are good because they're good for learning as long as they aren't used for games.
