Lockdown Special 2: Get ready for Google Meets with Mr Goodwin

 During this week (Term 1 Week 5) we have continued with our online learning programme. Our students from Team 4 have been able to access their learning from our Team 4 Site. The teachers from rooms 6, 7 and 8 decided to combine the classes to run the Google Meets together. Luckily we have some clever people like Mr Goodwin who have created resources like the one below to help us to run our Google Meets more effectively. Check it out.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visits our school!

Today our school was very lucky to be treated by a visit from our very own Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. She came in response to a movie and letters sent by students from Room 21 and Mrs Moala. Their movie and letters were about our new school lunch programme. Our school has been enjoying the free lunches and we are so grateful to be receiving a healthy lunch for all of our students. Aye and Nadia from Team 5 were also lucky to interview the Prime Minister. Well done to the videographers and photographers: Finau, Kristopher and Maddison too!

Level 3 Learning from Home and in Bubble School

 Starting today (Tuesday) our students are now learning from home due to the Level 3 Lockdown in Auckland which began yesterday. Well done to the students who managed to join their teacher and class on their Google hangouts. Student learning can be accessed from the Class site. 

Bubble School has also started for the children of parents who need to go to work. Here's a photo of some of our bubble school students watching PENN (Pt England News) today. 

Welcome to Room 7!

 Room 7 is an amazing class in Team 4 made up of Year 5 and Year 6 students. For the past week the students have been getting to know each other better and many have made new friends. Like in most   classes, the students have been getting used to the new routines and expectations. This week the Extension class and Creative/MakerSpace classes have also begun which is quite exciting! 

We'll keep posting student learning on this blog throughout the year. Please feel free to leave a positive comment on our class blog. 

1PM Update - Manaiakalani Film Festival 2020

 

This movie was created by the Year 5&6 Extension group. During lockdown this year, there were daily 1PM updates on the news to inform the public about what was happening and whether there were any new cases of Covid 19. The students had fun taking on the different roles and creating a movie about an issue that has affected us all this year. Thanks for watching!

Gender Equality - Manaiakalani Film Festival 2020

If you are a girl, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a boy? And if you are a boy, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a girl? Whether we like it or not, boys and girls are treated differently. Often in the workplace, women are discriminated against because of their gender. Find out more in this movie. Thanks for watching! 

By the way, Zaeeda in Year 8 came up with the idea for our movie. Thanks Zaeeda!
