OUR BUDDIES

This afternoon we spent time with our Year Six buddies. It was only their second visit, so we were very excited and glad to see them. 
They helped us as we worked on the laptops and ipads and did our 'small moment' writing. They read stories to us and we showed them how to do MeMoves and The Banana Song. 
We made an Animoto to show how much fun we had. We can't wait for our buddies to visit again!



Does your class have buddies? What learning do you share together?

IT'S TERM 3! WE'RE BACK AND ONLINE!

Today was the first day of Term 3. We were all excited to come back to school and the most exciting thing of all was...MRS M WAS BACK TOO!

Mrs M was away all last term because she hurt her back. We are so glad to her have back.
Mrs M couldn't believe how much we have all grown and was SO impressed with how clever we are.

We are excited that we can now really start our blog and can't wait to share our learning with you.
We are doing inquiries this term into the weather and the Olympics, plus LOTS more.
It's going to be fun!

      WELCOME BACK MRS M!

Have you started a new term today. Are you excited to be back?

INTRODUCING THE PREP GEMS

Welcome to our blog.

We are the Prep Gems and we are so happy to be continuing on the blog started by the original 1M Little Gems back in 2007. That's the year some of us were born!

Some of us have older brothers and sisters who have been GEMS, and we've heard about how they blogged about their learning and connected with people all around the world! 
This is the start of our blogging journey.
We don't know where we will go but we know the journey will be exciting.
We need you to be part of it so...


PLEASE LEARN WITH US. COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

IT'S 2008...

and the 1M LITTLE GEMS are now the 2M GEMS.

You can find us here.

COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!

GOODBYE FROM THE 1M GEMS

As our school year ends today, this is our last post as the
1M LITTLE GEMS. 
We have had an amazing year blogging.

We have learnt things we never even knew we could learn!

We never thought that we would have our own blogs...
we never imagined 'talking' to someone on the other side of the world...
we never thought we would use ipods at school...
and we never thought that we would be doing this
ALL BY OURSELVES!
We would like to thank EVERYONE who visited our blog - our parents, other family, teachers, friends and people from all around the world.
We would especially like to thank Mrs J and our blogging buddies in 6J. Without your help, we would not have our own blogs and would not have learnt as much.
You were great teachers and VERY patient with us.

We also want to thank Mrs D for being our blogging friend and coming into our room and challenging us .
And lastly we want to thank Mr S for loaning us all the Macs.
We had SO much fun working on them - we'd LOVE to borrow them again.

We are not going to take this blog down. It will stay as a reminder of all the amazing learning we had as 1M LITTLE GEMS in 2007.

We hope you'll come follow us on our blogs in 2008.
Until then....
GOODBYE and THANKYOU

MRS M'S STUDENT OF THE WEEK!

Today we gave Mrs M an award instead of us getting the award.


When Brooke and I were on 'walking bus' we got the idea to give Mrs M an award. We spoke to Mrs J and asked her to help us write the award.


We kept it a 'big secret' and Mrs M was really surprised when her name was called out. This is what the award said
Presented to Mrs M
For being the BEST blogging teacher. We are going to miss you!


We wanted to thank Mrs M for teaching us how to blog.
