Suggestion for our Art Project…!

What things remind you of Dubai? Buildings? Transport? People? Lifestyle? Colours? Shapes?

Please add as much as you can to the wallwisher below – it would be best if you could include photos, videos, pictures BUT just text is fine – someone else could add a picture…!

Interesting Energy Cartoon…

While I was looking through some GREAT student blogs from Hong Kong Academy and Shanghai American School I came across Andrew’s Weebly site. It looks like he is doing an Exhibition right now too and had embedded this fun cartoon about wasting energy from youtube:

Useful energy resources!

Here is a webquest where you can find out information about energy and energy sources… This is a great way of finding out more information on your own!

Another useful resource that we have set up for you is this Energy Custom Search. We have selected only the best and mot relevant sites for you to search through – aren’t we GREAT…?!?! :D

World Maths Day Countdown!

World Maths Day is just round the corner! Be sure to spend as much time as possible on Mathletics over the next few days… you should already have a username & password (let me know if not!).

You can also visit the official blog and find information on the event AND find out about the different ambassadors – can you locate OUR very own GWA ambassador? Once you have, maybe send her a comment or two – show our support for the ambassador from our school!

Hmmmmm – why do you think this image is posted below…?

What I need from you…

Hi G5Dragons!

Each week I ask you to give me suggestions of things to post. This week we have had some amazing newspaper articles, an ‘animoto’ photo slideshow from Gabi, some website suggestions and I am looking forward to a lot more suggestions FROM YOU!

NOW THE CHALLENGE…

I usually ask you to email the document/link to me but now I am going to challenge you to take it a step further and learn how to use ‘html code’ to send me something that I can post directly on the site…:

I use:

embedit.in: REALLY useful to embed pretty much anything BUT best for pictures, photos, scanned images

scribd: GREAT to use to embed word documents

Can you live up to the challenge???

The best from last year…

So I promised to add a few of the best posts from last years great gwagrade5 blog and here they are…

1. Animoto: an excellent tool to share photos (a great gift idea!) – and easy to use as well…

2. Xtranormal: The potential for this is very exciting – anyone can make their own film or put their playscript/movie ideas into action…! Has anyone else got clips to share?

  1. And a very cute one: the ‘smaller than a coffee cup’ dog :)

Please SHARE any interesting sites, games, tools and resources – we can add them here!
