Remote Learning Week 2 Day 5

Well as the week comes to a close I am once again so proud of the Rm 5 children and of all the work they have completed this week.  All work is doing to a really good standard and the children are taking on board all the feedback that is given.

Today was last day on our Anzac unit and it was all about remembering those who gave so much so we could have this wonderful life now.

Here are some examples of the memories that were made:

Inshirah wrote this lovely poem.

Tyler made some wonderful poppies to put on his front fence.

Harmonie and her mum made this wonderful tribute using an egg carton.

Bella and her sister did these lovely tributes.

Logan wrote this lovely poem and presented it in a fantastic way.

Indea-May created a lovely acrostic poem about Anzac.

I just love all of these tributes to our Anzac.  Thank you Room 5 for all your hard work.

Remote Learning Week 2 Day 4

As the 2nd week of remote learning draws to a close I feel privileged to work alongside these wonderful children.  Today the children were given the task to research and learn about the RSA and how they support our veterans.

The children were given some questions to guide them and then they have to go off and do some research.


Lochie Mills did a fantastic job answering his questions:

I love how Tom added in pictures to help engage the audience.

With a large number of children continuing to show they are dedicated to their learning I wanted you to show a sample of children and how much time they have been putting into their maths. 

From this image you can see that Taylor-Rose has done 220 minutes on MathsWhizz this week and moved up 5 progressions.
Hannah has completed 162 minutes this week and move up an amazing 9 progressions.  I will leave you to read the rest for your self but it really does show me these children are wonderful self-regulated learners who are making fantastic gains!

I can't wait to see what Funday Friday bring tomorrow!

Remote Learning Week 2 Day 3

Room 5 is a class of fabulous learners and here is some of the work they have completed today.

We continued with the Anzac theme with today being a chance to get creative.  The children had to listen to a story and then create a care package that they would send to a family who was fighting in the war.

Many children have been working hard on the maths questions that have been set for the week with the majority solving the problems well.  I can't post any of the photo's yet or those who haven't completed the work yet could just cheat and look on here!  However I am so proud of all of those who have completed the maths so far.

Keep working hard everyone!

Remote Learning Week 2 Day 2

Today has been another successful day for the students of Room 5 and their remote learning.  Today they investigated the 5 W's around ANZAC day here are some example of the wonderful work that was completed.

One of the other challenges for today was to do some 'Act's of Kindness' for the people in your bubble.  Inshirah did a picture for her Grandma and a bright colourful picture to cheer her family up.

Remote Learning Day 1 Week 2

Well today I struggled to keep up with all the emails containing work that the children were sending through to me!  This is such a positive thing and shows the children in Room 5 are so resilient and can work in a variety of conditions.

Today we continued with the ANZAC them but looked at how animals supported the war effort.

Here is some of the art the children completed today:

 One of the other challenges was to crack the maths code for the day and Inshirah show how to do this.

Day Two of Remote Learning

Today the children continued to work on a variety of Anzac challenges.  I have been wowed with the level of work that has been completed in such a different learning environment.

Today Mila and Deacon designed a NZ war medal that they would give out.  Mila took a different approach and gave hers for dogs that were supportive of the war effort.  Deacon gave his out for bravery and courage.

Another challenge was to write a letter home to a family or friend pretending that they were activity involved in WW1.  Here is some examples from Bella and Lochie.

Day One of Term 2 and Remote Learning

Today was Room 5s first day of remote learning during this level 4 lockdown and I have been so impressed with the work that has been achieved by a number of children.

I have just put up a sample of the work that was shared and done today.

Cameron Delany read the story Anzac Ted and then wrote this which brought a tear to my eye!

ANZAC TED
By Cameron

Hi my name is Anzac Ted.  I'm a bit old to look at, my tummy's torn, I'm old and gold, stinky and dirty.  I only got one eye I have a patch on my missing one, I've got one ear and everyone hates me apart from my owner who is a kid.  His grandfather was my owner and he died in the war.

My jacket is army green and torn, my past is sad but sometimes it is good to talk about.  Whenever I get entered in a favourite toy compeititon I get hate from all the other kids because of the way I look.  But they might change their mind if they new my story.

Here's a little bit of my story so it started off when I was young when I went to war, we had fight against our foe which is our enemy.  You see many things in war that are horrible and sad.  I was like a mascot to the army I have them peace when they were very badly hurt, sad and lonely.  I've helped a lot of people in my time. 

People that were in the war are heroes, I guess I am a hero too.  Not everyone looks like a hero.

anzac song- the last post

Amelia and Tom researched a game from the early 1900's and then gave it a try in their driveway.  I love how they spray painted it so no amount of rain will wash that away!!

Hopscotch began in ancient Britain during the early roman empire hopscotch courts were 100 feet long and used for military causes and training.

Mila made Anzac Biscuits which she has renamed Anzac pancakes.

Hannah and her mum also made some Anzac Biscuits which Hannah said her dad loved!!

Poppy Planting with Sue

Today we were lucky enough to have Sue Coleman come in and teach us how to plant poppy seeds.  We are hopping these will geminate and sprout before ANZAC day on the 25th of April.
