Miss Paton's Success


Today Room 9 is celebrating Miss Paton's success. She presented a presentation on her success. She got chosen out of 514 people around the world to fly to Chicago and attend the Google Teachers Academy. What miss Paton had to do was she made a digital learning movie and it got chosen so she is very lucky to have this opportunity. While Miss Paton was sharing her holidays and her presentation she also had a team that she worked collaborative with. If you can see in this picture Miss Paton is holding up her goodie's bag. She had to bring to Chicago objects that represented New Zealand. This was a very interesting and fun session for Miss Paton to share her experience and what she achieved. What I have learnt from Miss Paton was if you have a dream, think big because you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. A person that makes change is an Agent of Change and I think Miss Paton is that person.

Battle of the Mountains presentation


This is a presentation Mrs Anderson set for the class. We had to fill in the mountains personality.
