Little Heart's Day!

On Friday 18th March we celebrated "Little Heart's Day" at school by bringing a gold coin donation to support all those children who have heart conditions and have needed medical treatment to help them get better. Rm 24 children made heart necklaces to wear at the lunchtime disco under Te Kapua. we had so much fun dancing and singing outside together. Thank you to the school prefects and houe captains for organising such a great Disco for us all!The children also enjoyed making fairy bread using heart cutters and learning how to use a plastic knife to spread the butter onto a slice of bread.

Learning from home...in Week 4.

Some children stayed at home to keep safe while others recovered from being sick. Mrs Carter wishes you all a speedy recovery and return to school as soon as you can to continue your learning. Unfortunately Omicron is starting to spread through our community, so stay safe everyone and take care. Remember "Kawa of Covid". Keep washing your hands to stop the spread of germs.

Mrs Carter was at school doing online Google Meets with children who were at home at this time. But we still had lots of fun!

Week 3 - In Self Isolation!

What a surprise it was to have to stay at home for a week in self isolation! Rm 24 children were sent home with their iPads for home learning. They also joined in daily Google Meets with Mrs Carter and Miss Vili. It was great to see everyone remembering to use Good Manners for Google Meets. We played some fun games such as Scavenger Hunt, The Magic Blanket, The Wheel of Names game and I spy with my little eye...some of our friends shared their favourite toy. We also talked about what we ate for breakfast and lunch each day. Did you watch PENN while you were at home? Do you know what the school korero is for this week?

Fun Friday introduction...

Fun Friday!

Have a go at some of these fun activities that Mrs Carter created for you to do at home today. You can find them in our Team 2 site...Can't wait to see you on Monday!

Team 2's movie: Daylight - The Lockdown Project

This movie was made as a combined effort during Level 3 and 4 of Auckland's lockdown during the Covid pandemic! We have some shining examples of learning from home and Bubble school throughout this period and children reflecting on this time in their lives. We hope you enjoy this movie with the theme song called Daylight by Maroon 5. Please leave a positive comment.

Rm 24 game!

Rm 24 enjoy playing the game "I spy with my little eye" on our afternoon Google Meet. Everyone has a turn at guessing the word. Ashleigh's letter was "g" and it was her toy genie with blue hair! We had lots of fun playing this game...

Celebrating Diwali!

This week Auckland's landmarks are lit up at night time to acknowledge Diwali - the festival of lights that some Indian famlies celebrate as part of their new year festivities. Can you name all of them?

Wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to "Wonderful Wednesday" with Mrs Carter. Today you are going to learn about Diwali - the Indian festival of lights. Listen to the story about Deepal's Diwali, write a story about your favourite Indian animal, or try some new maths problems. Small clay lamps are lit at night time and put outside Indian families homes as part of this ceremony and fireworks are lit on the last day of this celebration. I hope you enjoy doing some of these activities on your iPad. Namaste Team 2!

Tokelauan Language Week

This week we learnt the Tokelau greeting for hello is "Malo Ni". We learnt about Taulima which are made and worn on their wrists by men and women during Tokelauan dance performances. Here are some story books written in the Tokelauan langauge as well and we also listened to this popular song taught in thier culture.

Wacky Wednesday!

Today's learning was based on the book called Wacky Wednesday about a girl who woke up finding weird goings on in her bedroom and where lots of strange and funny things happened in this story. In our afternoon Google Meet, Rm 24 children listened to the read aloud version and guessed the wacky things!

Niuean Language Week

Faakalofa lahi atu! To celebrate the Niuean culture Ms Teleso taught us some new words and greetings in Niuean in our Team assembly. We enjoyed her presentation which taught us about some facts about the Niuean culture. In our afternoon Google Meet we listened to the story about Spotted Butterfly in Niuean and then Jacob made his own butterfly using paper and scissors. How creative!

Mrs Carter's online learning

Welcome to Wai Wednesday and Team 2's learning is all about water safety and stories about going to the beach! Please find this on our Team 2 site. Remember to write a story using a beginning, middle and an end and share it to your teacher via email or post it on your blog. Some nice pictures or photos would be great too. Don't forget to make a new EE using (Explain Everything) and write a sentence using a capital letter for the first word, someone's name or place and end with a full stop. Have fun everyone!

Rm 24's Google Meet

Making Rewana bread

At the end of Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori Mrs Carter decided to try this new recipe for the first time at home in lockdown. Rewana bread is so tasty, it was very popular with her whanau and they enjoyed eating this kai!

Learning a new skill with Miss West

This week Miss West joined our class Google Meet and showed the children how to make a "Stop Motion" animation video using their iPads at home! Tevita filmed his Lego semi truck and trailer and used a remote control to make it move backwards, hook up to the trailer and then it moved forwards...how amazing! Well done from Mrs Carter.

Best turnout!

Yesterday we had the best turnout for our Rm 24 Google Meet, with 12 tamariki and 2 support staff joining in our afternoon korero. We had a discussion about who owns a "Pop It" and there were lots of you who do! Do they float or sink in the bath? There are rainbow ones, heart ones, unicorn ones and many more...Mrs Carter has a teddy bear one. You might like to take a photo of your one too?
