== Good morning everyone in Room 21. Today is my first day back at university and apart from having to sit in the traffic for more than an hour my first day back is going well. In my first lecture I learnt a lot about globalisation and how it effects learning and teaching. It made me think about the e-learning classroom that you are learning in this year because globalisation is creating changes around how teachers teach and children learn, and bringing technology into the classroom to help learning is a part of those changes. This Wiki page is an example of this. Very interesting, exciting and a fun way to learn! == == I expect everyone is working hard and learning lots. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday morning for making the tiles! We're going to have lots of fun drawing our frogs into the clay. I will see you then. ==

Hello Room 21. I just wanted to say that I was very impressed with everybody's effort and work when making their clay tiles yesterday. You all did a great job and they look fantastic! Well done :)

==Hello! It was fantastic coming in to visit you last Wednesday. The classroom looks great and like a fun learning environment. I can see everyone is learning a lot and that you are studying some interesting topics. I was very impressed with what you have managed to do with the money raised for Oxfam from your market day. It will help to improve people's lives a lot. Happy learning and see you all in a few weeks! ==

Monday 19th September Hello Room 21!!! I hope you are all well :) Finally I have remembered to go on my Wiki. University has been very busy, and so has getting involved with the fun of the Rugby World Cup. The games have been excellent to watch and there are a lot of fun things around Auckland. Who has been to see 'The Cloud' on the Waterfront? I went last Sunday afternoon and was very impressed by what they have put together there. It makes me proud to be a Kiwi! Who is enjoying the games? Has anyone been to watch a game live? I went to Japan vs France the other week. It was a lot of fun. The best kive rugby match I have ever been to! I dressed up to support Japan which was the best idea because they put so much passion and energy into playing the game which made it extra good to watch. They used very good team work and I thought they had a chance to win at one stage of the game because the score was 25-21 to France - Japan were only 4 points behind! Unfortunately France ran away with a couple of tries later in the game. I also had a photo with one of the Japan players (I think he is a Kiwi though :)). Below is the photo of my friend and I with the player after the game, and another player in the background. I would love to hear if anyone else has been to a game! I will come and watch your dance performance in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to it so I hope you are dancing and practising hard! I will talk to Mrs Goldsmith about creating a page for our space shelters so that I can put up some reflection questions and the photos (there are some good ones). I was really impressed by the team work and effort you all used to make them. They turned out looking really good! I will see you all at the dance performance if not before. Work hard! I am :)
