Week 7 Fun Challenges

 This week let's have some fun doing 3 different challenges. Take a photo or leave a comment on the blog telling everyone what you have done. Make sure you are keeping up with your learning on the learning websites, but also make sure you are getting away from the screens and doing some other learning too. Have fun!

💥 Challenge #1: Go on an 'Alphabet Walk'. Before you leave, write the letters of the alphabet down the side a a piece of paper. As you walk around your house or local area, try to find something that starts with each letter of the alphabet. Can you find something for every letter?

💥 Challenge #2: Construction challenge. What can you make using Lego or other toys that you have? Maybe you can follow up on last week's learning and build a bridge. You could also use cardboard, paper or reuse other items you can find around your house. Take a photo or bring your construction to one of our Google meets.

💥 Challenge #3: Cooking challenge. Help out at home by making a yummy meal. What will you make? Take a photo or leave a comment on this blog post telling us what you made. Yum!

 

Week 6 Challenge - Build A Bridge!

 Here is a fun challenge for this week.  😀 

There has been a washout and the bridge has collapsed! Your challenge is to build a bridge out of any materials you can find, but it needs to be strong. This could take some thinking, some planning, some drawing, some experimenting and some patience! If at first you don't succeed...try, try again. 

Most of all have fun and share your efforts with me and your classmates. 👍

Week 5 Learning - Passion Projects

 Exciting news - we are able to return to school this week from Wednesday! 

Some people might come back part time. Others might continue to learn from home. Whatever you choose, I'm excited that we will get the chance to reconnect together.

Whatever you choose, this week's learning is exciting too! You get to choose what you learn about! 

You have a whole week to work on a 'Passion Project'. You choose what it is going to be about and work on it each day, whether you are coming to school some days, or learning from home. Have a look at this slide deck and we will talk about it in our class Google meet at 1030am.

See you soon! 😀

Amazing Aotearoa

 Here's your chance to think about what you would like to research and learn about in Aotearoa. It could be anywhere or anything in Aotearoa.

This slide deck gives you some well-known New Zealand people, places and animals to learn about. You could also choose your own ideas. Research to find out as much as you can about your choices. Present your information in any way that you want to.

 Then challenge your teacher and classmates by creating some 'What am I?/ Who am I?/ Where am I? riddles, giving clues based on your research.

Let's go!

Bring your answers to our class Google meet on Wednesday. We will go through the answers together for you to see how well you have done.
