It's a Lockdown Life For us

 Whakamanawa Meet

Going into our second lockdown has been a surprise that I think none of us was expecting.  Whakamanawa has just got started on our online learning and communicating.  We meet two times a day and have a few fun things planned.  We are looking forward to getting back to school and ensuring that we make the most out of this experience.

This term we are focusing on getting faster at recalling our basic facts.  We will be using Prototec to do this.  Here is my first attempt at Stage 5.

Kiwi Can Says...

 Be Resilient!


This term our theme in Kiwi Can is Resilience.  Our Kiwi Can catch-phrase is:

Happy, sad, angry, excited.  
All emotions are invited.
Don't keep them in, let them all out.
It's what being human is all about.

Sharing Our Learning

 Student-Led Conference Slides

Next week we are having student-led conferences.  Our whānau are coming to school and we will be sharing some of the learning that we have done this year.
This slide is the mahi that I have been doing:



Sources: Miss Waho gave us all the blank template that she created. 

Reflection and Next steps: I am proud of the learning I have done.  I am a little bit nervous about sharing this out loud so I will rehearse what I am going to say.

Be Funky

 Funky Fam

This term we have used Be Funky as a tool to get creative with photos.  For our values task today, Marsali created this photo.  Pretty funky alright.


Positive People

TITLE: Keeping a Positive Attitude



INTRODUCTION:  Tālofa lava.
This week our values focus is Keeping a Positive Attitude.  We created a Google Drawing with us in the centre, surrounded by things we can say or think to ourselves to help keep a positive attitude.  
This is the example that Miss Driver created as a model for our class.

DIGITAL LEARNING OBJECT:

REFLECTION: I think we came up with some really good ways to keep positive in different situations.  We can already see some of the kids in our class, using these ideas.

SOURCES: We found our information from each other and we used our school Values slide for tr Ara Takitini site.  Miss Waho created the template for us and we personalised it.

QUESTION: Do you have any other ideas for how we can stay positive, especially when things get difficult?  Leave your ideas in the comments below.
