Agent Tobias !

 



I'm glad you had so much fun using the Morse Code.
I had planned for us to do some of this back at school.
You will be an expert!

Dreaming of Clouds

 


Cloud watching is one of my favourite activities.
The sky is amazing - always changing and I sometimes
think that if you painted the clouds as they look people
may not believe you because they can be so different, 
all at the same time!

Why not check out the Science slide (7) and click
on the link to see how Clouds are formed.
Then do some Cloud Gazing.
This will be good for Mindfulness too.

Have fun and see you tomorrow at the 
Friday Google Meet at 11:00

Rain, rain, you're here to stay, today!

 


The rain is back again, but we
have a water shortage for Auckland city,
so we can be grateful that our dams are
getting filled up.

It is an awesome day to stay inside doing 
some fun activities like-

Board Games
Making a hut
Watching your favourite movie
Reading books
Exercises indoors
Mindfulness
Singing
Baking

Spring is in the air!

 


Spring is in the air!
Daffodils everywhere ...
Go to slide 8 and watch the video about how to 
paper fold your own daffodil or copy my simple idea.
Daffodil Day is this Friday 28th August.

It was awesome catching up with most of you yesterday on  the 
Google Meet. You all looked so happy sharing your learning and
asking fantastic questions. I was very proud of how you
all listened carefully to each other, waited turns and used your microphones.

You are like professionals - using Google Meets now.
Well done - using your GEMS self-belief and growth.
Tune into the next Google Meet on Friday, 11:00 am.

Cute photo of you and Luca scootering. Yes, it has been very windy and stormy lately. 

I'm glad that you could have a sleepover at your Grandparents house. That must have

been lots of fun.

Lucas and Max sharing their home learnng.





Sounds like and looks like you are having lots of fun with Max.
You are very clever with your painting.
Thank you for having a go with the Semaphore flags.
Maybe you could bring them to school later so that we could practice sending messages.

Pirate Toby!!








 

Wow! I see Pirates Toby and Eleanor have been very busy with their home learning.

I like how you have completed a variety of learning like the Maths, Art, Drama, Technology and

 Written Language. Did you show Grandma how to use the robot arms to spell out the words?

Rapare, Thursday 20th August - Teacher Video

 


Today, you might like to practice some of your counting.
Forwards and backwards to 20, 50 and I know some of you can go to 100!
Maybe challenge yourself to go beyond 100!

How many PAIRS of things can you find in your house?
Pairs come in 2s, twos. 
So why not practice counting forward and backwards in twos too.

Blake the Scientist!

 


How cute Blake - you look like 'Lava Man' in your outfit.
I see you and your sister Kasey are having lots of fun.
Did you know that you are learning about Science?
Keep up the great job!!!

Communicating through Semaphore Signals

 


Check out Slide 12 today about using
Flag Semaphore Signals to send messages.
Maybe write a message with the online Semaphore
Converter - it is a lot of fun!
And for Technology you could make two semaphore
flags of your own to use.

A lovely Daffodil for Dino!

 


What a gorgeous photo of you Dino with your lovely
Daffodil. Great teamwork making this with your
helpful brother. You will be all organised for
Daffodil Day on the 28th August.

Our Enormous Sandwiches

Sandwiches for lunch anyone? We read a shared book about a huge sandwich that Max made, so we

decided to make our own sandwiches. We haven't quite finished all of them so watch this space!

When we return to school, we will finish them and display the sandwiches in all their glory.

Week 5 - Tuesday, 18th August

 


Reading is a great way to improve your Learning.
Head to Slide 10 on our Distance Learning slide deck
and select some books to read.
I have suggested some interesting follow up activites
that you might like to share with me later.

Also remember you can watch Suzy Cato on t.v.
 for some extra learning as well.
Have an awesome day.

COMMUNICATION

Thank you Lydia for sharing and practising your learning about COMMUNICATION. The POSTCARDS you made your friends, are amazing!

Lydia shared her learning about COMMUNICATION            with our class. Lydia made POSTCARDS with                  kind positive messages to her friends.


Mrs Smaill tried to buy a Post Box for our classroom but they had all sold out so Lydia kindly solved the problem for us.   She made a POST BOX to put all our class postcards in. 

And Laela made a lovely POSTER with pictures and stickers to share give to her friend Alexander.

         These are all ways of sharing COMMUNICATION!
