We Meet Again!!

Morena, kei te pehea koe? Good morning, how are you today?

It was lovely to see all your smiling faces again - I miss you! Thank you for showing your favourite books and talking about what you think the Microscope is used for - we will have a look through it when we are all back at school. 

Keep looking at My Blog video every morning at about 9:30am and answer the riddle in the comment box with your name at the end of the sentence. Remember it will not just pop up straight away - I read it first and then I publish it.

Ben's Maths

Day 1 of R11 Distance Learning

Congratulations William Trophy Facebook Challenge Winner for yesterday!!

Are you checking out Ms Driver's challenges every morning and listening to the teachers reading stories from their living rooms??

Just right for relaxing to - listen to them every day these holidays! Even if you do not have an account on Facebook you can still listen to the stories as our school page is public.

Here are a couple of posts from R11 children - sorry I know there are more! It is hard to keep up - argh!

Have a go and challenge yourself! What has been happening in R11 during this last fortnight?

Swimming with the whole Kowhai Carnival!

 Our Oceans Inquiry wall starts to take shape! Can you see which creatures we THINK live in each layer of the ocean? We are going to be doing some research about this soon. Right now we are exploring and starting to make meaning and connections.

 To help us get thinking and explore the Oceans, Riley from Young Ocean Explorers gave a talk about her role in filming and sharing our unique New Zealand sea life right outside our city in the Hauraki Gulf! 

 Mrs Harding has been teaching us Te Reo and we have been practicing our vowels sounds, greetings and recapping knowledge from last year.

 Evelyn was our CEO today which we all take turns at being and did a great job of taking the roll for Mrs Trembath.

 Maths games and place value games to 1000 are keeping us busy in our Number work. Here Jayden is so excited to win his 3 digit dice game where you move 3 dice around to make numbers fit before or after each other. 

Inquiry in Reading - Using our own Learning Pathway

 We are thinking about our Sunnyhills Learning Pathway 

Here we are Reading with the Get Thinking part of the pathway
Reading a book together - we all talk about the story and listen to eachother's ideas.

Now we are Exploring a Non Fiction text - Camouflage.

The children can read the book by themselves or with a buddy. They can listen to the text read aloud via an audio link on the Drive. This helps those who need to decode the new vocabulary.

Now using the same book, we are reading the text to find out facts about endemic species in New Zealand. Making Meaning and Connections! 
Next we will share our findings on the drive in the slides - hope you have checked out our work, parents! Let us Share and Shine with you!
