2017 has BEGUN

They look like a raspberry! Tucked in under the light. 

    ROOM 9 is known as the HAURAKI group.

We had only two days in class in our first week and were so busy getting to know each other, the new class environment and pets, and our new chromebooks that no pictures got taken!  Except..... some ideas on looking after our chromebooks (important) and the new eggs that the giant water snails we have had laid behind the light in our tank, and ON the light. They are bright pink! We will be watching with interest to see if they hatch.
The snails are fascinating to watch on the glass.

The snail and goldfish tank.

The second lot of eggs they have laid this week!! 

Getting to use our chromebooks is very exciting for those new to it, and for those who haven't had them over the holidays. We will be doing more work on learning how we can look after them at all times.
SO FAR we know .....
...to leave it in a safe place so no one can stand or sit on it
...to make sure it is not near the edge of a surface so no one can knock it off the table or bench
...to walk with the screen closed and
...to use two hands when carrying it
...to close the lid carefully and not slam it
...to work on a hard surface so it doesn't overheat
...to not use it when we are eating of drinking
