Here is a link to the Room 12 wikispace for 2009 Year5stm media type="custom" key="2053936" This cool map will record the location of our visitors. Lets see how far and wide they come from! Welcome to Room 12's wikispace!

Room 12 is an energetic bunch of Year 4 and 5 children from St Mary's School in Tauranga, New Zealand. This is our space on the internet to share our learning and experiences with each other. Watch it grow as we discover more of what the Internet has to offer and how we can use it in our learning.

I created this [|WORDLE] from all the ideas you generated in our class discussion. Which words do you think are the most important? Are there any here that you don't know what they mean?  media type="custom" key="1972588"This is called a boggler. It changes every time you open this page. See if you can figure out what they mean and write the answer on your page!

If you find a good riddle or joke you could put that on your page and the answer on your discussion page in case people want to find out the answer.  Now that we have more of the class joined up as members we are wanting to have our say more and more! As you can see on the left some children have started to create their own page. If you are not sure how to do this check out Emily's page - she has made some great instructions!!! Well done Emily - you really are a star!Click here to go straight to Emily's Space

Fergus has put instructions on how to put a picture onto your page on his page. Click here to go to Fergus' page FERGUS'S SPACE or if you prefer you can check out Ryan's page, he has some very clear instructions on how to put pictures on your wiki page. Click here to go to Ryan's space

I have noticed that you are started to use your spaces to have a discussion about topics like our Amazing race - that is so cool, WELL DONE. You might find it easier to have a chat to each other on the discussion page. That is found at the top of the page. When you add a comment on this page, the picture that you added to your name in your account comes up beside your message. Try it out!

That way you can leave your own page for putting your work onto or creating a personalised page! On your page you may want to put a voki. I know Fergus was very keen to know how to do this. Follow these instructions and it will be easy for you too. Go to the Voki Website (use the link below to make that easy if you want) Create your voki >   >   Click Publish - down the bottom Give it a name then click the close button on the "Thank You" box
