Room 13 Maui Comic Strips
We looked at a Story Library book that had various Maui stories presented as comic strips. We decided to retell our favourite maui story as a comic strip. We created our comic strips first as a story board, then dropped our pictures into kidpix to colour them in. We then imported our kidpix pictures into comic life and added our text and speech bubbles. These are the comic strips that have been completed so far.

Room 13 Cultures
In Room 13 we made a comic life presentation about our Cultures. We got pictures from google images, we created a picture using kidpix, took a photo of ourselves, and wrote a greeting. Our images were about traditional food, symbols, activities, and what we are famous for. Each child's comic strip portrays their own culture.

We pray for the children of Christchurch.
A big part of our school culture is to care for others and help them where we can.
The children in Room 10 wanted to do something to let the children of Christchurch know that we are thinking of them after the recent earthquake.
We made slideshow of our prayers for them and sent it to their schools.
Here it is to share with you.
