Ideas for the School Holidays

Me mahi tahi tātou mō te oranga o te katoa.

We should work together for the wellbeing of everyone.

For all children, we will be supporting their learning from your home in the new term through online learning via Seesaw, class blogs and via links on Facebook.  For the next three days and during the school holidays (that have been brought forward to next week 30th March to 15th April) learning resources will be available on class blogs. We are currently developing online programmes with some degree of connectivity to begin after the school holidays.

Learning From Home

A message from Nathan Wallis:

If I can leave you with one thing, it’s this: at the end of all of this, your kids’ mental health will be more important than their academic skills.  And how they felt during this time will stay with them long after the memory of what they did during those weeks is long gone. So keep that in mind, every single day…

TURANGAWAEWAE: As part of our Inquiry Unit we are building a Waharoa - please feel welcome to visit us and watch it grow. We acknowledge the tangata whenua through the Awa and Maunga. We have each created a fish that is swimming in the Awa. This is based on the book, Only One You by Linda Kranz.

Ko Taupiri te Maunga.

Ko Waikato te Awa.

Ko Tongariro te Maunga.

Ko Taupo-nui-a-tea te Roto.

PAANUI: We have begun our reading programme. This includes guided reading, shared reading and our teacher reading to us. Here we are being Tuakana/Teina and supporting our classmates in their reading.

TURANGAWAEWAE: We have created maps of special places in our school and included grids, compass roses, and map keys. To make our maps look older like Te Tiriti O Waitangi we tore the edges off and stained our maps with coffee. We also shared our maps with our class and are learning how to be a good audience.

TURANGAWAEWAE: We are learning about the environment around us and looking at special places in our school. Today we looked at our beautiful Waharoa and sketched snapshots of the carvings. Our Waharoa has many different images with different representations.

Nau mai, piki mai

Welcome to our Whanau 18 Blogg. We hope you enjoy following us on our journey of learning. We have started with a SPLASH and are really enjoying the chance to learn new skills in the swimming pool.

Welcome to Term 4

Welcome back to Room 20! 

I hope everyone enjoyed their break and are feeling refreshed. We have a busy term of fun and learning ahead of us. 
Don't forget everyone needs to have their hat with them - no hat, then play in the shade! (Although, there are some spare hats available in class).
