Voices of the World April’s Task
Have a look at the contributions from other classes from around the world at the Voices of the World wiki.
What Are These Kids Doing?
It may not look like it, but the AllStars were all very busy and on task last Wednesday!
What sort of task would involve this sort of behaviour? 
Our Voices of the World February Task - that’s what 
We were discussing, planning, making and then setting up and taking photos for this month’s task on numbers. Great fun, great learning, great teamwork! 
Here is our finished product - what do you think?
Learning Together
It was great to see the “old” AllStars tutoring the “new” AllStars in the computer room today! 
Lots of important information, terrific tips and helpful hints about blogging were passed on to the newer students so that they can get their own blogs up and running as soon as possible. 
Now that everyone knows how to leave comments on blogs we can look forward to some interesting and (hopefully) thought provoking discussions taking place. 
Thank You to “You”
To all of our blogging friends ..
A heartfelt and HUGE thank you to “you” - everyone who reads, enjoys and comments on our blog.
We have learnt so much this year, and it is because of “you”. We have blogged because of “you”, we have reflected because of “you” we have shared the events, the fun, the learning, the laughs, the thinking, the working and the people who work in and visit our class.
“You” have made a wonderful difference to how we learn in our room.
“You” have helped us think about our learning, how we do things, why we do things, and how we can learn and work even better and harder.
“You” have shared so much with us - thank you for your comments, your thoughts, your questions, your ideas, your blogs and most importantly your friendship.
We are on holidays now so our blog may be a little idle - but we will be back again in February.
Until then - keep on blogging
Voices of the World - November Task
We were very late for November’s Task (so it’s not on the VOTW site) but you can check everyone else’s out here at the VOTW wiki.
But here it is anyway, we had heaps of fun making our stars on “2Paint A Picture” and choosing a background theme for our song.
We hope you enjoy!
Voices of the World
Come and have a look at the fantastic Voices of the World site.
This is where we join with over 40 other classes to share our voices and artwork in fun ways.
We are in the middle of our November task, but have a look at what we got up to in September and October!

Voices of the World
We are part of a project called “Voices of the World”.
A world wide project to unite children together using their voices.

Our first task was to make a Voki and record ourselves saying a message. This is what we came up with:
Writers Stories - Alison Lester
A little while ago we were part of the Sydney Writer’s Festival and took part in a writer’s workshop and masterclass with Alison Lester. Alison wrote the book “Are We There Yet?” which we read when we were looking at Australian history.
Please click on this link (the photo of the book) which will take you to the site so you can watch the Masterclass (and see some AllStars in the audience :) )
Thanks for your photo Carronshore ;)
Our Macbeth Play - Thanks (and apologies) to Shakespeare!
As part of our “History Never Repeats?” question we have been reading some of Shakespeare’s plays, because Shakespeare was an important part of history as well as writing a number of historical plays.
We have chosen to perform “Macbeth” for our class item in Assembly this week. After being inspired by Kindergarten’s performance of the story “A Dark, Dark Tale” we decided to re-write Macbeth in the same way.
To help us sort out the parts of the story we would perform, we all used Mind Maps to organise and identify the important parts of the story. You can see a composite of what we came up with on this Bubbleshare presentation ……..
[bubbleshare 232192.d42832b4179]
We had to add the “Dark, dark” tale bits to join the story together.
Now we have to work out who will be each character and practise on the stage.
We hope to video our performance and put it, and some still photos, on our blog after Friday, so stay tuned ……
What do you think Shakespeare would say about us changing his play?
Random Meme Fever!
A random meme has been “floating” around the blogosphere of late and many AllStars have been tagged by friends from other schools and countries. We have discussed the positives and negatives of these memes and have tried to remember to keep safe (no personal details). School based tagging should try to keep on school topics too.
Today we thought we would answer as a class, so we thought of 8 topics we would answer. Then we turned the reults into percentages (maths lesson!!!!!! :lol: ) and here is what we came up with:
- 43% of AllStars liked MeatLovers pizza.
- 57% of AllStars don’t like Maths.
- 29% of AllStars chose science as their favourite subject.
- 43% of AllStars have finished the Premier’s Reading Challenge.
- 43% of AllStars liked Athletics for sport.
- 100% of AllStars love blogging! :mrgreen:
- 100% of AllStars like playing games (PS2, DSLites, Computer etc)
- 90% of AllStars like making digital games.
We won’t tag classes - but if you want to join in please do so and leave a comment so we can read your class’ favourites
