Welcome Back!

 

Here we are at the beginning of Term Four.  Oh My Goodness!  Where is the year going?  And...we're back learning online!  That wasn't in our plan, but we're good at 'Just rolling with it'.  

I hope everyone enjoyed the two weeks of holiday, even though we couldn't go to the places we'd usually go to, or do the things we'd normally do during a holiday.  I hope that you enjoyed simply being with your family, and having fun, relaxing times with them.

Did you watch the School's Immersion Assembly this morning?  If you did, you would have seen all the Teams sharing what they would be learning this term.  Here is the movie that Team One made to show a bit about what we are learning this term.  Enjoy!

Making a Poi

On Tuesday, Ruth and her Mum made a poi.  Here's a short movie showing them working together.  Nice job, Ruth and Mum!

Wacky Wednesdays

Team One are having a Wacky Wednesday on each....Wednesday, of course!  :-).   Today we all dressed in our pyjamas and brought out soft toys to our Meet.  Everyone looked so relaxed, and the variety of toys was awesome!  Great job Team One.  I look forward to seeing what next Wednesday will be like.

Here's the teachers from our last week's Wacky Wednesday when we dressed up with wacky hair, hats, and clothes.  I love Miss Squire's glasses, and Mrs Shirley's Mickey Mouse ears. 

More awesome work from Ruth

Ruth has continued to work each day.  Here is some of her work from today.  Love your artwork, Ruth.  Nice heilala flower to celebrate Tongan Language Week.

Ruth's Work is Fabulous!

Ruth continues to work hard each day.  Thanks, Ruth.  I love the picture of you playing with your sister.

Christopher has been working hard at home.

Christopher's Mum sent me a lot of work that he has been doing over the last week.  I have chosen just a view to share with us all.  Here are pages of his written work, plus photos of shapes around his house.

Awesome work, Christopher.  Keep it up!

Ruth is Amazing!

Ruth has been very busy working at home.  Here's some of the work she did on Wednesday.

Ruth, thank you for putting so much effort into learning at home.  You are so awesome.  Thanks to your Mum too, for helping you.  

Elysabeth and Gano

Elysabeth and Gano have been working hard at home.  I love the work they have both been doing.  Great job girls!

LEARNING FROM HOME.

We are now all staying safe and staying at home, and our team has begun to have daily meetups. We have been so excited to see so many wonderful students coming on to say 'Hi' and to share their learning with the rest of us. Here's a screenshot of one of our morning meets. 

Jerry's Been Working At Home

Great work, Jerry.  It's so good to see you have been doing learning at home.  Thanks for sending the photo.  Keep up the awesome work, Jerry.

PJ's Thursday 27.8 Learning

 Today PJ has been practising doubles.  He also wrote a lot of Gs.  Nice work, PJ.

Brian's Learning - 27.8

Brian has been continuing his weather chart.  He has also practised writing the letter G using his neatest handwriting, as well as learning the sight words from his Reading Log.  Awesome work, Brian!

Here's Brian doing some Reading.  Mum tells me that he also practised the sight words.  You are amazing, Brian!  Never stop learning!

Koloti's Learning 27.8

Today Koloti practised the sight words and enjoyed listening to the story 'The Gruffalo'.  He also practised learning the doubles to 20, learnt to read numbers to 600, and played some Maths games on the laptop.

Koloti's Learning - 26 August

 Koloti continues to learn every day.  You are awesome!  Here he is practising writing the letter F f, and writing some words that begin with 'f'.

Koloti loves playing the Maths games on his laptop.  Mum also said he practised reading numbers up to 500, and practised reading all the sight words.  Wow, Koloti!  You are really doing some excellent Home Learning.

Brian's Learning - 26 August

Brian found a few things that begin with the letter/sound F.  He found a Fire extinguisher, a Fork, a Five dollar bill, some Fish portions, and a Folder.

Brian also practised neatly writing the letter F and f.  Nice pencil grip, Brian.  And, he also drew the life cycle of a butterfly.  From caterpillar to butterfly.  Keep up the awesome work, Brian!  😀

Tuesday 25 August

Today's learning was focussed on the letter P.  Here are some photos of what Koloti, Brian, and PJ did at home

PJ practised writing the letter P, and drew some awesome pictures of things around his house that begin with the 'p' sound.  Well done, PJ.

Here is Koloti writing some very neat Ps, and his finished work with some words that begin with P.  Great work!

Brian helped prepare a Pizza, and wrote a story about it.  I loved how you used the word 'delicious'!  I bet that pizza was!  YUM!!

PJ's Learning. 24 August

PJ has been doing some Maths at home.  He found some items from around his house and made three groups of 10.  How many is that altogether?  10 + 10 + 10 =  ?   We could say 3 lots of 10 equals....or 3 x 10 = ?

PJ also made a couple of paper planes.  I bet he had some fun flying those.  I wonder if one flew better than the other.

Brian's Learning. 24 August

Today we have been learning about the weather.  Brian drew two awesome pictures.  This one is a picture of him out on a sunny day playing on his trampoline.  I love the detail in your picture, Brian.

This second picture is of a rainy day.  I can see the raindrops falling onto the roof of your house, Brian.  Luckily you are safe a dry inside, and have a huge smile on your face!  Nice.

Koloti's learning - Monday 24 August

Today Ms Squires created some learning about the weather.

Koloti started a weather chart, and has shown what the weather was in the morning and in the afternoon.  (It's been a bit wet in Auckland today).

He also practised reading some sight words

And he made groups of ten, and practised reading numbers up to 400!  Great job, Koloti.

Brian's Drawing

Brian drew this great picture of a caterpillar and a butterfly.    How many legs does that caterpillar have?  Can you count them in twos?
