Our buddies from the Kinder/Year 2 class visited us again today! The Allstars hooked up the new Playstation 2 and Eye-Toy -a big “Thank you” to Derek Robertson from the LTS Consolarium in Dundee, Scotland for inspiring Mrs P and Mrs Dyer because they are now very keen on using console games in the classroom - we think this is 8) !
We paired up with our buddy and we all took it in turns to play fitness games with the Eye-Toy on the iWB. The session was a bit rushed because everyone had to have a turn, but by the end there was lots of huffing and puffing and laughing.
Right at the end we all joined in together and did a group obstacle course – running, jumping, balancing, dodging. Lots of moving and laughing! Here are some thoughts from the AllStars buddies:
Sokeina: I thought today was really fun and my buddy was having the time of his life. We got to play on the eye toy it was really fun. My buddy’s name is Danny and he was really confused when we were playing on the eye toy because he didn’t know what to do. I think that we should teach them about the eye toy a bit. Today was the best day of my life.
Mikhaila: I thought today was amazing! The eye toy was so much fun. But my buddy was really confused and she didn’t know what to do.
Dushan: My buddy didn’t always take turns. He played with me when it was my turn.
Timothy: Today was a terrific day! My buddy and I played with Ramiz and RJ. I wish we had more time to play.
Nancy: My buddy is a Year 2 student, it was fun because she listened carefully and I didn’t have to get frustrated. My buddy was pretty good at playing Eye-Toy. I wish we didn’t have to rush!
Naomi: My buddy was confused with the colours and needed to listen more. I think we should have more time on it while the buddies are with us.
Clement: My buddy didn’t understand the words when we played the game. I will need to know the game and teach my buddy before he plays.
Ramiz: I found it hard to understand what my buddy said to me. But when we got to the Eye-Toy he was pretty good.
Nadine: My buddy had no clue what was happening when we played eye toy. She kept on copying my moves, but when she did, she was good and I was really proud of her. She helped me win and she was pushing really hard on herself. I enjoyed playing eye toy a lot with my buddy.
Sharon: My buddy had a lot of fun. It was boring when we had to wait because my buddy kept on wanting to play other games and then saying they were boring. I had a lot of fun playing the eye toy I think my buddy did too!!!

First to comment again!:D It was so fun but my buddy was very naughty. He stacked those centicubes then knocked them down. We were very impatient and didn’t want to wait. Everyone wanted to play the Eye-Toy. It was also fun because it was the newest version!

Ah Ha!! Now I know how the centicubes ended up from one end of the room to the other ………

It sounds as though you had a great time. I was hearing from Derek about the console games at a meeting last week. I think that it sounds like a great idea.
Are playstation 2’s just new in australia?
Bethany & Laura
No, Playstations are not new in Australia - but they are new in our school. We haven’t used one at school before. The new Playstation 3 comes out in Australia tomorrow (Friday)

Hey there All Stars,
Had a look at a Star Wars game in the holidays that displays on a TV screen. You use a light saber to activate and play it and there’s a white spherical thing that looks like a death star that sits on top of the TV. Is this an eye toy?
Also had a look at DS lights and PSP. They both look great and I don’t know which one to get. PSP is $100.00 more but does a lot more like enable DVD viewing etc, but then the screen is a bit small for viewing.
What do you think? Do you have any pro’s and con’s for PSP and /or DS Lights?
Ms K and 3K.
We will have to get back to you on this one Ms Knight!
Hi
We are from NZ at Balmoral School. You guys are so lucky that you get to use the eye toy for fitness. In New Zealand for fitness we play games outside that do not involve a screen.
This term for our rich task (project) we are learning about Maori culture. What are you guys learning about?
