Online Learning - Week 2

Today it was lovely to see so many smiling faces during our morning meet. We went through our learning expectations for the week. and where to find everything. Although we're all at home, it was great to hear that the class felt confident navigating their learning.

We had a few people who wanted to share which is fantastic. Jackson shared a wonderful lego creation that he had been working on. It is a very cool building site which also has a little portaloo. The class thought this was very funny!

Kaiora told us that he has been doing some more gardening. He has planted carrots which he is really looking forward to eating! 

Alaris found a box full of treasures from when she was younger. She showed us class photos from her old school in Auckland when she was only 5 and she had to wear a uniform and black shoes. 

Kylan has been working on a hut in the cowshed and has been making chocolate fudge. He loved it so much his face was covered with it! 

Elena and her family were working hard over the weekend to move a pile of dirt that was almost the size of Elena's room. Luckily there are 5 shovels so no one missed out on helping!

Donna has been super busy making movies with her mum and helping to build a new fence. Donna and her mum have brainstormed lots of ideas for making a movie and toegther they made an awesome video about our school values! Enjoy :-)

First Week of Online Learning!

Our first week of online learning is done and dusted. 

Thank you to all our Te Manga students who have been doing their best to be connected online and to self manage their learning at home. I thought everybody deserved the VALUES award this week!

Today it was really lovely to see so many of our class at our google meets and to also connect with Mrs Davan and Te Tinana as Te Whare Tui. Mrs Davan organised a Nearpod to play online and then we did another scavenger hunt which was a lot of fun! Here are some of our photo's from today.

We also had one more meet at 11am to do some 'Free Writing Friday'. It was great to have a few keen writers join in. Thank you to Jackson, Kieran and Kaiora for sharing to the group.

Scavenger Hunt

Today we had a super fun treasure hunt during our google meet. The students were so excited to take part and the sounds of delight coming from my laptop told me they were really enjoying themselves. It was also great to hear how much learning the students are managing to do while they are at home. Keep up the wonderful effort Te Manga kids and whanau!

Friday Fun Day Scavenger Hunt

As part of our 'Friday Fun Day' we did two scavenger hunts. The rules were simple:

1. DO NOT disturb anyone in your household while you are looking for items for our scavenger hunt.

AND

2. DON'T BREAK ANYTHING or tear the house apart.

Everyone had to give a thumbs up that they could see the list and then it was 

Ready, Set, Go!!!!!!!!

The students had a great time!!! They also put everything back where they found it so everyone was happy!
