The Time Has Come

Goodbye, farewell, see you sometime soon...

Today we are reflecting on our year and looking forward to where our new pathways take us.

My highlights~ I really enjoyed being introduced to James Russell and then being able to read all of his books in class.

My lowlights~ Something I didn't enjoy that much was how chrome books were not used for learning all the time which made some children become dishonest because they would hide the fact that they were on something they shouldn't be, like games.
My headlights~ Next year I am looking forward doing less work from home and spending more time with my son.

Dollar Day Market

Whakamanawa Market Day


At the end of term three, we had an idea to help us raise some money for camp.  We thought it would be good to have a market day.  While we were preparing for it, we decided we would make everything cost one dollar, which then prompted us to call it our Dollar Day Market.  
We started by preparing and planning for our stalls.  We created a Google slide so we could advertise in our school.


We were so amazed at the turn out of our market day and were not expecting so many people to come.  We made an impressive amount of over $1400.00.  Check out some of the pictures below:










We are looking forward to holding another market next year.

Our Learning Slides

For our end of year reflections, we are working on a slide that is a collection of learning we have done.  Each of us have this in our drives and will be using it for sharing to our whānau through Linc Ed and our individual blogs.
