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 4 Day 2

Today in Room 5 we continued to look at the 3 R's.  Have taken a look at what can happen when things go wrong.  Something that is very close to home for us here on the West Coast is the Fox River landfill disaster that occurred in 2019.  The children were shared a number of links that they had to read and watch to give them information around this disaster and the long running affects it has on our environment.

Tom did a wonderful job completing the comprehension sheet on the Fox River disaster.

Inshirah has shown that for a Year 4 student she is excelling with these tasks!

Amelia finished her onomatopoeia writing.

Remote Learning Week 4 Day 1

Today Room 5 had a number of fun challenges based on our class novel and the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).

The PE challenge was to make some home gym equipment using recycled goods or equipment at home.

Inshirah did a fantastic job with her homemade gym equipment.

Literacy today was a challenge around onomatopoeia.  The children were asked to write a paragraph that used onomatopoeia to add effect to their writing.

Logan had fun writing this text today.

Chido also let her creativity flow with this piece of writing.

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:
