Great blog. You have some wonderful ideas! I was hoping you wouldn’t mind if I add your blog to my blogroll to allow my students to visit your site and learn a bit about what school is like in New Zealand! Thanks!

Kia ora Shawn, glad you like our blog. Please feel free to add it to your blogroll. However, as our classroom numbering is being changed next year the blog address will probably change. If this occurs I will email out the new url. If you or your students have any questions for my class, about school in New Zealand, please feel free to send them and we will do our best to answer. My class are all Year 4 students, roughly equivalent to 3rd/4th grade.
Regards

Very cool blog, obviously lots of work goes into this. Well done room 9!!!!
Wow! In my day there was only one computer at my school and that was used by the office lady!
At high school we had one between 30 students. We weren’t allowed to actually touch it but we gathered round behind the teacher and watched him use it. In those days windows hadn’t been invented yet so most of our lesson was spent keying in codes to get the programme started.
How much the world has changed since the early 1990’s! I hope you guys realise how lucky you are to have so much information at your fingertips!
You should change the spelling settings on here though to proper English (i.e. not American).
Be good. Work hard and enjoy the best years of your life.
Love seeing the children’s pics with the “happy” video – thought this was very cool!
I knew about many events of World War II but didn’t know much about World War I! Thanks for sharing your video. 🙂
