- Tell me about your Special Spot, where do you like to be most? Is it your bedroom, up a tree in your garden, or cooking in the kitchen? My Special Spot is sitting on my couch with a book in the sun.
Welcome to our Whānau 19 Blog with Whaea Arna. We are a combined class of Year 3 & 4 and hope you enjoy following us on our journey of learning.

Kia Ora e te Whānau - Week 5 Home Learning
Hope you have had a relaxing enjoyable weekend.
I have created some fun activities and learning for your tamariki to complete in the next couple of days (see below) and have also re-sent codes to log onto Seesaw, Mathletics, and Sunshine Classics.
https://www.mathletics.com/nz/
For Seesaw you will need to download the Class App and then use the sign-in text code. Please ask your tamariki to take a picture of themselves in their favorite spot and add it to our ‘Special Spots Activity’.
I will be online from 9.30-11.30 and then again from 1.30-2.30 if you would like any further assistance to set your tamariki up for online learning or to answer any questions. I look forward to reconnecting and receiving some very cool pics.
Mauri Ora, Na Whaea Arna

Korikori Tinana - Health and Physical Education
Our class had lots of fun while the weather was clear to learn and practice our large ball skills.
We worked in our teams well, supported each other, and most of us had turnes to be the leader of our team.
Whaea Arna was very impressed that everyone tried their hardest and gave it a go!
