Selwyn House Superheroes!

Selwyn House "Superheroes"


The eLearning and Makerspace Leaders of Selwyn House School for Semester 2 (Harriet, Maya and Ella) have created a website. Our website is called ‘Selwyn House Superheroes’. Our website is called Selwyn House Superheroes because we are creating a game where you can design you own superhero. We have designed our own superheroes…



Our superhero game is found in our subpage labeled 'Mission.' Your mission is to create your own superhero, give them a name, give them a power and create their look. Then you can help us save technology! But shhhhhh... don't tell anyone about your secret superhero mission!


We designed our superheroes using Scratch and based our designs on the Power Puff Girls. We made some edits before creating our superheroes.   

   

We are also making tutorials. We sent out an email asking people what tutorials they would like to see and what things they wanted to learn. So far we have made a green screening tutorial. We are going to make a 3D printing tutorial, and we are thinking of doing a Scratch, screen printing or robotics tutorial.

Today, Bob (a book blogger) came to talk to us about some amazing books that we could read. He showed us so many breathtaking books, we all immediately started making a list of the books that we wanted to read. Bob also has a great blog that you can look at to get some ideas of what books you could read and what they are about. Here’s the link

Check out this slideshow we created showing some of the fantastic books Bob shared and a quick summary. Which ones will you read?

Selwyn House Disco


On Friday the 28th of August, Selwyn House School held a school disco. The preschool had their own disco, the Year 1-4s had their disco and then the Year 5-8s their disco.   

We had our own DJ and there were disco lights. There was also food and drinks. This whole disco was organised by the Selwyn House Parents Association (SHPA).

We have a school disco each year - unfortunately this was all the Year 8s last disco here at Selwyn House School. So we all made the most of our last disco and had lots of fun!
