Kids4Kids E-learning Evaluation Movie

Paparoa house Year seven's and eight's held an e-learning conference called Kids4Kids on Thursday 28th October this year to teach the year sixe's from Somerville's contributing schools such as Point View, Willowbank, Shelly Park and Cockle Bay how to use computer and internet applications so they are prepared when they come next year. Kyle, Sonna, Krishna and I held a workshop on Google Docs teaching the Shelly Park and Cockle Bay students. Here is an animation created on xtranormal about the Kids4Kids e-learning conference evaluation. We will talk about the highlights and the lowlights of the conference. So sit back, relax and enjoy the movie Sonna and I made! "Lights, camera, ACTION!"

Poems

New Years

At one to twelve,
The countdown begins.
Fireworks are exploding,
They all look like darts.

It's the time of the year,
Let's have a cheer.
We have delicious food,
Everyone is in a good mood.

During Chinese New Year,
Children receive money.
Adults are all busy,
And we all think it's funny.

The night sky's gleaming,
We're all in a cheer,
Because everyone's beaming,
Adults are drinking beer.

Soft breeze fills the air,

Flowers bloom, birds chirp.

Bare trees everywhere,
Hands wrapped around each other,
Firewood burning.
