__**Term Two's Evidence:**__  For the Fair Go process we first watched advertisements as a class and decided which ads we were interested in. For example the Air New Zealand advertisement because it promoted the All Blacks, it promoted Air New Zealand and it was quite funny. It was effective because it had catchy music and funny scenes, this made us remember the advert after we had watched it.   We decided to promote Palmy in a “FUN” way and to kind of make it like a stereo type ad. Some people from other places in New Zealand think that Palmy is mostly popular for having bad weather and being gloomy and boring. Others think it is quiet and the best thing about it is that it is a Student City. We decided it was time to give Palmy a Fair Go!  We designed our plan on a story board. For this we had to decide what areas in Palmerston North to focus on. We carefully planned what angles and shots we were going to use. After that one of our class mates took some videos around Palmerston North in the weekend. Luckily we were watching the weather so we knew when to film in bad weather.  Once we had done that we downloaded them onto the computer and made a slideshow on i-movie. We edited our movie to make sure we had the best shots. The next step after that was to make some tracks on Garage Band. If you don’t know what Garage Band is it is a programme on apple computers and you can remix tracks and add in your own beats. We made an original soundtrack. We planned out our script and recorded our voices on Garage Band and inserted it onto i-movie. When we finished that we copied it onto our slideshow.   We shared it with our classmates and they gave us some constructive criticism. We made final changes based on their critique. This is our finished product. We hope you enjoy it.  <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">Yours Sincerely <span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)">Rhara, Tim and Max media type="custom" key="1731785" We are learning to use our maths knowledge to create a game for others to test their maths skills. media type="file" key="whats-the-time.ppt.mov"

<span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: rgb(0,48,255); FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">**__Goal Term One:__** To link the use of ICT into my literacy programme through the use of internet scavenger hunts.

**   We are learning to answer questions about famous New Zealanders, by using the internet. **   <span style="FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">   In class we worked together, using the datashow, to complete an internet scavenger hunt. Using TKI’s wick_ed site, we used Cool Kiwis, Georgina and Caroline Evers-Swindell. We worked through the questions, reading the information to locate the answers. Then one reading group completed another internet scavenger hunt in pairs. This group had to look through two sites (from wick_ed and a government page). Once they had completed the scavenger hunt we marked their work. In their pairs they then chose a cool kiwi of their own (from wick_ed) and created a scavenger hunt for the next reading group to complete. <span style="FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"> The students loved completing the first hunt, but enjoyed even more being able to create their own for others!! <span style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings"> J media type="custom" key="1856915" media type="custom" key="1856917"

__**Goal Term Two:**__ <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: #0007ff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">To continue incorporating ICT into my reading programme - through Scavenger Hunts and using Comic Life to show main parts of a story.

**   We are learning to show main parts/key ideas of a story, using comic life. ** <span style="FONT-SIZE: 70%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive">  Students were learning to identify the main parts/key ideas in the stories they were reading. They had to identify the main ideas, plan out in their reading exercise book how they would show these, share with the teacher and then use Comic Life to present the final product. Some students used Photo Booth to take their photos but others used the much simplier way of taking a photo straight in Comic Life. They also had to add text (speech bubbles, thought bubbles or boxes - the one they thought was most relevant).

Students were __**very**__ proud of their work and how much they had learnt about Comic Life in the process. media type="custom" key="1856923" || <span style="FONT-SIZE: 190%; COLOR: rgb(255,0,3); FONT-FAMILY: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; COLOR: rgb(0,48,255); FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">**__Goal Term One / Two:__** To integrate ICT into my Literacy programme.
