Remote Learning Week 4 Day 3

Today my team of hardworking children spent the day looking at how we can reduce waste and then had to create a poster to educate others.

Once again we had some fantastic examples what amazing digital skills the children have.

Bella's Poster:

Deacon had some awesome ideas to share too:

Another challenge Room 5 were set today was to learn about Banger Racing.  We have been reading the David Walliams book called 'Bad Dad'.  In this book Gilbert Goodie is a banger racer.  The children were challenge to create fact files about Banger Racing in the United Kingdom and then make comparisons between that and stock car racing here in NZ.

Inshirah has done a wonderful job creating a slideshow around this:

Mila was able to share heaps of information and her comparison was very clear between the two countries:

I can't wait to see what other wonderful work will be created in the 2nd half of the week.

Remote Learning Week 3 Day 2

It has been another successful day of learning with Room 5.  I am seeing the children get stronger and stronger with their maths around perimetre, but of course I can't share those on the blog just yet or we will give the answers away for those who have not completed the task yet!

Today we looked at what happens to our rubbish here in New Zealand and then here in the Grey District.  Cameron answered all the comprehension questions and then managed to pin the local landfill on a google map.

The children were also given an art challenging using recycled good that they would have at home.  Here is Amelia and Toms toilet roll fish which they turned into toothbrush holders.

Chido used a craft kids she had at home to add details to her toilet roll fish.

It was also awesome to hear that Lochie Mills was able to upload his PE obstacle course onto his blog so feel free to click on his link and take a look.

Remote Learning Week 3 Day 1

Today we started a new topic around Reduce, Reuse and Recycling.  Today was a chance to see what prior knowledge the children already had and what they currently do at home around these 3 R's.

Indea-May did a wonderful job to get the definition for these words from the dictionary:

Reuse means to use something again.

Reduce means to make something smaller is size or amount.

Recycle means to use something again.

This was the prior knowledge that Mia has about the 3 R's:

Harmonie and her family do the below thing towards the 3 R's:

Another challenge the Room 5 children were given today was to create an obstacle course for PE. I received some fantastic videos that have really amazed me, made me laugh and shown me your fantastic creative skills. As I am having some issues uploading them I have taken some screenshots to share with you.

This was Inshirahs:

Amelia and Tom did a fantastic job also:

Lochie did a fantastic bike obstacle course:

Cameron was so brave finishing his course in the swimming pool!!

Deacon and his family had a wonderful time out on their course:
