This is a modern day retelling of a traditional fairytale called 'Rumpelstiltskin'.
Read the story, listen to an audio version, and maybe you can even retell your own version of the story (it's ok if it's not exactly the same 😊 )
Try the quiz and some activites from the choice board. Enjoy!
In Māori culture, a rāhui is a form of tapu restricting access to, or use of, an area or resource to help protect it.
There is a rāhui in place in the Waitakere Ranges at the moment to help protect Kauri trees from kauri dieback disease.
In this story, the characters place a rāhui on their strawberry patch. I like it because it reminds me of our connection to nature and of our school value of Kaitiakitanga.
Enjoy the activity and let me know what you think. Leave a comment on the post. Share any work you are proud of with me.
Room 16's Crazy Hat Chat!
We are going to have a class google meet! Wednesday 26th August @ 10.00am
It is a chance to catch up, connect and share some of our learning. You might like to bring a piece of news or learning to share. It would be really cool and fun to wear a crazy/silly/colourful hat if you'd like. Maybe even make one!
If you want to join in, check your email for a link just before 10 o'clock on Wednesday. Please see the guidelines below to get prepared. See you there!
Malachi has been working hard and has shared some of his home learning with us. Very cool Malachi!
Have a look and see what you think. Leave a comment if you like it.
Hey room 16!
I hope you are all ok at home and looking after each other in your bubbles.
If you write about the things you do some days, I'll post it on this blog and we can play that game where you can try to guess who wrote it. Check the blog and leave a comment to play.
Here is another learning activity you can do at home. Read about honey bees, how they live, how they make honey and then answer the quiz. There are some videos to watch and a choice board of activities to work on. Remeber to share any work you are proud of with me and I'll post it on the blog to help us all stay connected. You could also leave a comment on the blog post to let others know which activities you tried or which ones you liked the most. I'm going to make a lemon and honey tea!
Here is a retelling of a traditional Maori story called 'Rata and the tree'. You can read and listen to the story in these slides. The last slide has a CHIOCE BOARD of activities to try. Maybe, after reading and listening to the story a few times, you can even retell your own version of the tale. You can share any work you are proud of with me and I will publish it on this blog.
Check back to see what your friends have done.
Also remember that the Maths Week website is still live this week.
Hooray! It is MATHS WEEK!
We are having lots of fun trying new mathematical things in class this week.
Each day we are having a 'Daily Challenge' question in every classroom across the school. All correct enties go into a prize draw and there are 2 prize winners from each year group every day!
In room 16 we are having fun doing a 'Daily Dollar' exercise where we answer questions each day and earn 'virtual money' which we deposit into our virtual bank account.
We are also enjoying the Maths Week website which is only live online for this special week. If you want to have a go at home clink this MATHS WEEK link.
Happy Maths Week!
