Just another ordinary day at PES

This movie was created by Jasmine, Ashleigh, Shoal and Vivienne. It stars Lesieli who is in Year 6 at Pt England School. The students decided to create this movie to show what a typical day might look like for a student here at our school. Of course Lesieli is a little more special as she is one of our Pt England Ambassadors, but most of what you see might be a typical day for most of our netbook students. We hope you enjoy.

A visit from Paula Bennett

Our school usually hosts many visitors during the year. Yesterday we received a visit from the honourable Paula Bennett, Minister of Social Development. She briefly visited our class with Mr and Mrs Burt and Pat Sneddon. We were later told that she enjoyed being in our class. She was interested in what we were doing and how we used our netbooks for our learning.

New Netbooks!

Room 21 are loving their new netbooks! Mrs Burt arrived on Wednesday last week to deliver them to our class. We have spent the past few days getting to know how to navigate and use the different functions because the desktop and programmes/applications are a little different to what we're used to.

We have been using google docs for our writing, which is later posted on to our individual blogs.

We have also been learning and practicing how to take good care of them. We are so lucky to have them and we would like to thank Mr and Mrs Burt for making it happen (and all the other important people involved). We would also like to say a huge thank you to our Mums and Dads for paying for our netbooks!

Thank you!
