Remote Learning Week 4 Day 4

Today the children looked at recycling and related it to a product that is used within our school.  Our Fonterra milk cartons.  The children had a chance to research what happens to the milk cartons when they leave our school, where they go to be processed, what they are turned into and who benefits from this process.

Insihirah did an incredible explaining this process:

Mia was able to include some key vocab in her presentation about the recycling process:

Another challenge was to made a new product from recycled goods at home:

Mia has let her creative juices flow with her creation:

Inshirah created a very functional piece and something I could use during art time in Room 5:

One of the last challenges for the day was to design their own unique banger race car that represents them personally.

Mila did a fantastic job with her design and reasons behind her design, but I'm sure her car looks a bit like Mrs Wallace's mustang.......

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.
