Wild Wednesday!

Team 2 had the privlige of learning about different animals and birds found at the Auckland Zoo with Kat via a Zoom call! Hope you enjoyed guessing all the bird calls? Then we listened to the story about Elmer the elephant which has a good moral teaching that we were asked to write about...

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!

My Journal entry #5

On Friday night I suggested to my boys that we try making our own sushi for dinner? So I marinated some chicken with a special recipe called "Terriyaki chicken" which is from Japan. Then we cooked the sushi rice in a pot and the chicken in the frying pan. Next we prepared the seaweed also called "nori" in Japanese. We spread the rice on and then layered the chicken and the vegetables on top. We like capsicum, carrot and cucumber because they are all healthy kai. Next, we rolled up the sushi in a special bamboo mat called a "makisu" until it was tight. Then my eldest son Nathan cut it into small pieces using a sharp knife. It tasted just like the real thing, delicious! Have you tried any new recipes while you have been at home during the lockdown?

Mrs Carter has got two different coloured lava lamps at her house which turn on at night time to look effective. This is what they look like...

My journal entry #3

My family and I awoke on Saturday morning in time for the 6 am "Stand for Dawn" service. We stood at the end of our driveway and listened to the "Last post" being played on the bugle and broadcast on Radio NZ. Mrs Carter made a paper poppy wreath to put on her letterbox. Then she made an Anzac slice to share. She also remembered her grandfather who served in WW2 as a British soldier who was an Infantry officer who served from 1939- 1946. Mrs Carter was lucky enough to visit Gallipoli in Turkey in the year 2000 and take part in the Dawn service at Chunuk Bair amongst several thousand New Zealanders and Australians and also got to meet Prime Minister at the time Helen Clark. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn; At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, We will remember them.

My Journal entry #2!

Today I feel so very proud of the students from Rm 24 who have been writing in their daily journal as part of their continued online learning at home during the lockdown. Well done to all of you who are trying your best and making an effort! I have posted this record of learning onto your blogs.
