Ben just loves this technology and is a real natural.  This is Ben's video from our afternoon session when we showed parents some of the things we used the i-pads for.  Ben is the first person to use the i-pad to make a video.  I think it may become a very popular tool!

Today we saw a show called "Hiwi the Kiwi".  We listened to songs, danced and heard about how to protect the fish in our seas for future generations.  We heard how the fish population that live in the sea around New Zealand are becoming less and talked about how to be safe on boats by wearing a life jacket.  Simple really.

Marcus' popplet

We have been learning about what life was like for the early Maori people in NZ
