Free rice is a website that I came across during the blogging challenge. Free rice lets you answer questions on a variety of Topics like flags of the world, multiplication, vocabulary and french. Every answer you get right they donate 10 grains of rice to help end hunger. So far I have donated 6110 grains of rice! Free Rice is a great way to learn new things and make a little difference in the world.

Above is the new challenge. Click on it to see what it is all about.
Homework: Go to the homework page to find out what is for homework this week. I hope you all had a great holiday. I will catch up with you all on Friday. In the meantime I am learning what Mr Elms does when he comes to work everyday!
This challenge has a number of challenges you can choose from. If you are thinking you might do the animoto one. I can link you into my education animoto site and you can have fun making one if you like. There are others though that you can do. The most important aspect is that you have permission to use the photos and you make attribution. Go to it. Start early, don’t leave it to the last minute.
Challenge Two is out. Click on the picture below to read all about it. There are two tasks. One to do with your avatar and one to do with your digital footprint. Choose one or two of the activities. For those of you who have your avatars you might like to experiment with others and make a slideshow of them for your blog. Don’t forget the digital foot print challenge as this is an important one

Recently I did the teacher blogging challenge. I found it a wonderful learning experience, and it has opened up new doors for me. So give it a try. Even those of you who are new to blogging can give it a go if you so choose.
I have signed our class blog up to the class part of the challenge. It all begins in March.
As part of the blogging challenge, two of the students made this short video of our school, it was one of the challenges during our holidays. So we are just doing a little catching up.
