SOLO Thinkers
In Room 14 we are learning to use SOLO to help us with our thinking. SOLO is all about ordering our thinking and working to improve how we think.
There are 5 levels of SOLO
1. Pre-structural
2. Uni-structural
3. Multi-structural
4. Relational
5. Extended Abstract
Check out the clip below and see what Room 14 has to say about SOLO.

Big Buck Bunny
Room 14 used Big Buck Bunny to help them begin their character descriptions. We chose a character out of the short film and described them. We included what we thought the characters personality would be like. What did we say ...
Baileigh Nicholas wrote "Snoop Dog has a pom pom tail and evilness lerking in his body"
Isabella Hellesoe wrote "he is fluffy, big and smart with chubby fat bouncy arms"
Oliver Cross wrote "he likes butterflies, is friendly and has big arms and floppy dopey ears"
Ryan Webley wrote " Zake the Chinchilla is chubby and goffey and is really funny who follows around Big Buck Bunny"

Character Descriptions
Room 14 have been learning how to write effective character descriptions - what do you think of these?
To help us with our inspiration we watched "Big Buck Bunny" and began by describing the characters on this short film.

With her beautiful blue butterfly wings she swings through the sky with her lazered green whip lashed boots. She has elastic green and green goey hair, a green top and shorts to protect her from the lava and fire. At night she swoops through the air while her electric suit glows light green in the dark. When a monster is near she draws a see through bubble around herself and uses her lazered whip to protect her from getting hurt. - COME AND CHECK OUT CASSEADY'S SUPERHERO IN THE TIPA AWHINA SPACE.
