Keep sharing any pictures of your cuddly friends - they are gorgeous! You are so lucky! 

Also the musicians and song writers! Keep being creative people.

Open up this slide deck to play William's experiment video which is Mum emailed to me.

William the Scientist!

Woo hoo William! That's exciting - it can be tricky to get the mentos in the bottle but you did a great job! So, do you know why the mentos and coke react like that? Imagine what it would be like in your stomach if you drank coke and then ate some mentos!!!

Thanks for emailing the video - if anyone else would like to email me a video of their science experiment that is fine.

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!

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!

Using our Google Drive for the first time - woohoo we are learning fast!

Watching how to log in and where to find the drive on the landing page is very important. Ethan is patiently teaching Janessa.

Teaching on to another student is a great way to revise your own skills and share with others in a collaborative manner. 

Each student is gradually learning how to login and type their password into the computer. It is quite different from a tablet. Mrs T is very impressed with the way everyone is taking care of the laptops and listening to lots of instructions! 

Connor is bringing his own device to school. Here is the Certificate that shows me he has gone to a BYOD Drop in session with his parents. At these sessions, they learn to login and use the Google apps for education (GAFE) and what the Student Landing page looks like. 

R11 have some very important jobs to do before school!

Theo, William and Charlie are putting out one of 4 soccer goals every morning when they arrive at school. Thank you boys! They are part of a group of volunteers from our class who do this every day before school and put them away again at the end of lunch time. We are so lucky that the PTA bought these for us last year. Soccer is very popular at our school!
