Belmore South Public School

On Monday and Tuesday of this week, Belmore South opened the doors on a new exhibition in the hall-our Art Show Extravaganza!!

All students contributed 2 pieces of art work to the art show, the result being a school hall that looked AMAZING!

Well done to the students for creating such artistic pieces of work.  We’ve included some snaps below.  Make sure you check them out!

As it’s the last day of Term 2, we’ve like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday.  We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday the 28th of July-the first day of Term 3.

The collection of space capsules, rockets, space stations, Hubble telescope is huge.

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of the Space capsule that first circled the moon and came back to Earth. Look at the burn marks on it. It had to land in the ocean so it didn’t smash to bits or burn up.

The Space Capsule was sent into space on top of a big rocket like in the picture.

When did man first step on the moon? Can anyone tell me? Isn’t the picture inspirational?

The way man gets into space now is on the Space Shuttle which can go back and forth like a plane,
here is a picture of one of the Shuttles. How many were there? What were their names?

The Space Shuttles take astronauts to the Space Station now.

Mrs P and I were standing in the endless Starbuck’s line wearing our Pearson’s shirt. These 2 people came out of the crowd yelling at us and waving their arms. 

“You’ve won, you’ve won” they said and presented us with an ipod shuffle each!!!

At this birds of a feather session at NECC 2009 we were looking at what it was possible to do with iphones / ipod touch apps.

Be entertained by the guitarist and his 3 iphone ‘appers!!!

This is a huge conference where over 13 000 people come to learn about the latest trends in technology.

People meet other people and talk a lot but mostly teachers spend time going to lessons and learning.

We’ve learned about;

• how powerful Google is as a web based engine for searching the Internet and that it helps focus and then organise your searching
• iphones and ipod touches and what great learning tools they can be in the classroom
• all sorts of amazing Apps from web 2.0
• literacy and how it’s so much more than reading and writing and how it is nearly impossible to test using old test formats
• making the classroom a happy and fun place to be
• what students think about the way they are being taught and how they would like to be taught using technology
• the importance of the web as a place for publication
• the new web, web 3.0
