Term 3 Week 6 & 7: Level 4 Learning Experience

 Kia Haumaru te noho tātou!

I do hope you have all tried to get sometime outdoors and spending time with those in your mirumiru (bubble). We have all been doing our best to keep connected by morning meets as a whanau and also using online games to have some fun.

The akonga have been earning fale tokens for participating in meets, engaging in set daily tasks and showing our New Windsor Way during our online communications.

Our Teina Remy and Levi have been working really hard at home with their parents on the daily tasks. Take a look and make a comment on their work on our padlet. 

             

Also we do Rāpare - Reo, where we do our work in Te Reo only, here is our Tuakana doing pānui on a meet.

Term 3: Week 4 Lock Down Level 4

 Kia haumaru te noho! Well two days at school this week and then Alert level 4 at 11.59pm for Aotearoa. So this week started as per normal but then learning returned to online meets.

I have to say we had really good attendance at school with 15 students most days and we had a really good week ahead planned. We started learning online from Thursday to give teachers time to take care our whanau and prepare for the days ahead. The most important part of lockdowns i have found are that tamariki have a routine and stay connected with their class mates. This is what the purpose of meets are really all about for me and hopefully a little learning along the way.

Our tamariki have been doing their best to complete some of our online tasks for Pānui, Tuhituhi and Pāngarau, so make sure to check out of the work and give our tamariki some feedback.

Term 2 Week 9: Mānawatia a Matariki

 Mānawatia a Matariki

Wiki tua iwa, we have done many things with our tuakana learning to embed a slide to their blog, teina learning about fractions, 1 whole, 1/2 half and 1/4 quarters, also how to equally share. We have also been reading, writing and learning about matariki. We have been working really hard to complete our matariki silhouettes.

Our kura also had an official opening of our new turf and shade sail area, which whanau and our community attended for karakia, some signing, performances from our school chior and kapa haka. group. We were all so excited!

Here are some pictures of the highlights of our week:
