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 3

Room 5 are showing me how creative they can be this week and I am stoked with their creative talent!

Today they had to create games at home using recycled materials.  I am going to use heaps of these ideas with my two kids at home as they are fantastic ideas.

Deacon made a game for one but then turned it into a challenge for the family as they had to see how many times in a row they could get the ball into the container.

(How proud of me that I worked out how to upload a video!!!!!!!!)

Inshirah create a fantastic game where her and her brother had a caterpillar race using paper and straws.

We have started our David Walliams unit and today the students were asked to do some research around David Walliam by doing an author study.

Mila has presented her author study in a fantastic slideshow that using facts and images to pass on her new knowledge.




Indea-May has created a wonderful google drawing to share her knowledge around David.

Logan also shared his author study in a google drawing.

Inshirah has shown that after only having her chromebook for 1 term she has fantastic digital skills and was able to display her author study to a really high standard. 

It was also fantastic to see children who are catching up on work that they didn't get done from earlier this week.

Mia and Jake collected rubbish from along their road and then she finished her day off by making her toilet roll fish.

Ty surprised me with some extra writing he has been doing and I was so proud to see he had been directing his own learning.

This is a very big blog post but honestly I am just so proud of all the work the wonderful children in Room 5 are doing.  Thank you for all you are doing, I am so proud of you all.
