Week 7 Highlights

We are now back into our normal routine, learning, having fun and being really independent! Many children have become more independent since coming back to school. They settle quickly to work and manage themselves and get their tasks done on time. They have learnt many new skills on their chromebooks so the Cybersmart lessons I had planned are being completed quickly. It is time to introduce new programs and skills!

This week our certificates go to

Dlijot, Punjab, Sophie and JJ.

Congratulations!

This term our inquiry topic is... 

We are looking into who discovered New Zealand. This week we learnt about the myth of how Maui pulled up a giant stingray which is now the North Island.

Check out our amazing stingray art!

Week 6 Highlights

Welcome back to school! 

It feels great getting back into the swing of things. The students have readjusted well and are enjoying being back. 

This week we have been sharing stories and our experience in lockdown. We have written some amazing recounts and letters to document what I hope is a once of a life time experience. We have also made a Covid-19 Time Capsule to save special photos, thoughts, feelings and memories. I have also done this task with my 3 year old daughter in the hope of saving it to look back on when she is older. Please save a copy, add to it, print it or whatever if you want to save the memories. There are also some questions for your children to ask you if you have the time. 

This weeks certificates go to: 

Grace, Erin, Brayden and Claudia. Congratulations!

Bugs!

We have been learning about bugs! We got to pick our favourite bugs and do some research on them. We also made bugs out of nature things and made bug hotels.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day was a bit different this year. No going out to eat, maybe no gifts but lots of time to spend with our kiddies. 

Room 1 hope that all the mothers had an amazing Mother's Day and love their special gifts!

The deep

We have been learning about The Deep! We learnt about different creatures in the ocean and look into Kelly Tarltons.

Our Online Successful Learners

Well done to our Online Successful Learners! You had a fantastic week completing work. 

Ready for our business meeting

Today's Google Hangout was very fancy. We wore our best clothes and acted as if we were at a business meeting. It was so cool to see you dressed so nice in pretty dresses, jackets and even a bow tie.

Hailey heard me (Miss Haerewa) amazed at how lovely you all looked and she ran off to get her own fancy jacket. She really enjoys joining in with our class chats, listening to stories and sharing news too.

Teddy Party

I enjoyed seeing Room 1's favourite teddies today! Hailey loved that she has some that were similar to you. She has a Mickey Mouse like Nitya and a Unicorn like Liam.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Farming

Here are some amazing farms!

Our Pets

How cute are some of the pets in Room 1!
