With Chinese New Year on its way,
we have been learning about China.
Meet Avatar Niamh.
She starts off our project by telling you
about the ABC of China
the abacus, bicycles and chopsticks.
Avatar Tadhg is going to talk to you
about Chinese Dragons
A Forbidden City sounds interesting.
Avatar Owen will tell you about it.
If you want to hear about
the Great Wall of China,
Zac has some information:
Avatar Lewis introduces us
to some important Chinese inventions
Avatar Nicole has some information
about the Chinese inventions
of kite making and fireworks.
There are so many people in China
that there is not enough land to live on.
So what do people do?
Avatar Tom will tell you!
Have you ever seen the
Disney movie ‘Mulan’?
Matthew will tell you about
the Chinese legend of Mulan.
We don’t want to make you hungry,
but Avatar Mark would like to talk to you
about Chinese food.
What do you know about Pandas?
Let Avatar Senan tell you what he knows about them.
When 2nd Class Room 6 saw
‘The Sacred Way’ on Google Images,
they were amazed.
Avatar Shane will tell you why.
Finally Max will tell you about
another spectacular sight that
we saw on Google Images when
we looked up the Terracotta Army.
When doing this project we found this ABC of China
from a 3rd Grade Computer Club
from ‘The Franklin Institute’, Philadelphia
a very helpful starting point.
The alphabetical order was
a very helpful memory aid.
A Song for Chinese New Year, from ‘Children’s Music by Nancy Stewart’..
This is our second Voki Project this year.
The other one was on the planets in our solar system.
Our Project about the Planets in Our Solar System
For these projects we tried to create avatars that looked like us.
Now that we have that done,
we are each making our own unique avatars
that definitely do not look like us.
Look out for them in the weeks to come 😉
Thanks to Lucy from TY who helped us with this project.

Hi there
We love your blog! How did you make your cool avatars?
From Room R from Taumarunui
Hello to Room R, Thank you for the compliment. We made are avatars using Voki.com. This is the web address: http://www.voki.com
First we made avatars that looked kind of like ourselves. They are on the blog already.
Then we made the craziest avatars we could think of. They still have to be posted.
They are so weird, we better post them just a view at a time in case we frighten people (joke).
You should try the avatars. They are great fun.
Thanks again,
2nd Class Room 6
