Attitudes programme

Last week our year 7 and 8 students were lucky enough to have the Attitudes programme visit Matawai school, along with our friends from Waerenga-O-Kuri school.  Presenter Robbie Baker was AWESOME, delivering incredibly important health messages about making positive decisions, identity, self-esteem and the power of choices.
His stories were both hilarious and heart warming and his visit was a real highlight.  All students enjoyed a laugh and took away incredibly valuable leaning from the day.  Thanks Robbie!

Stormy Waves Music creation

Our Cybersmart focus has been around the creation of music.  We explored a site called Soundtrap, where you have the ability to create your own music.  The first step of the process was to select an image to insert as a background on a slide.  The idea was that the music we created would capture the mood and movement of our image.  I chose a stormy sea scene and with this in mind, I set about trying to find instruments and sounds to reflect the mood of the sea.  It was challenging to find the right sounds and instruments to truly enhance your image but it was fun to explore the multiple range of sounds and beats you could create.
