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!

Term 2 - Day 1 - Check out these wonderful learners!

Term 2 - Day 1 is done and dusted! What a fantastic turn out it was from the class at today's hangouts. I was so impressed with the effort that the students put into their learning today. We had a whole class catch up, 2 math groups and then 4 small hangouts throughout the afternoon for those who needed some help.

Some of the students have learnt to add extensions to their chromebooks, namely the grid view for google hangouts and Screencastify and are becoming more confident when presenting their screens to share learning or troubleshoot any tech issues. I really am impressed with our class.

I have read some excellent pieces of writing today presented on google slides and in docs. I have also learnt a lot today thanks to the students who posted their learning on their blogs and Grace who shared her learning with me on a hangout.

Keep up the great work Te Manga!!!

Check out the 'Mission Impossible' video below that is on the topic section of our class site. 
I have already received a few finished plans and those students are ready to get started!

Home Learning Rewards with Te Tinana

Today the students had the chance to relax and play as part of our home learning rewards afternoon with Te Tinana. Our Te Manga kids had a fabulous time catching up with old friends and reminiscing about their lovely classroom from last year. The kids chose to do a variety of activities including origami, lego, big blocks, car tracks, Mathletics, Reading Eggspress, colouring, drawing and building with all sorts of materials.

A huge thanks to Mrs Stevenson and the lovely Te Tinana kids for being such wonderful hosts!
