Curtain of fire

This term the children in Team One are learning about volcanoes. We had a chat about it at our team assembly hangout session. Sione was really excited and drew a picture of a volcano. He wanted to  share this with us.

Jahnaeyah's learning

Cullai's fitness routine

Cullai has been following the LesMills exercise programs on television. He likes them and sometimes his mum joins in as well.

Yummy

Last night Akanesi baked some cookies.

I like to move it, move it.

Tolati likes dancing with his brothers. He has some cool moves.

Cullai goes exploring

On the weekend Cullai went on a little field trip to explore a volcano called Mt. Taylor. The Maori name for Mt. Taylor is "Taurere" which means "loved one flown away." Cullai lives only about 20 steps away from this small mountain. His mum says that he had a blast exploring and finding rocks around the mountain.

Chocolate Cake

On Monday Jimmy Tai, his brothers and his mum baked a chocolate cake. Jimmy Tai and his brothers helped mix the ingredients. It tasted delicious. After baking they went for a ride on their bikes. It was a memorable day for the family.

Happy Easter

Tevita and Kiarah had a lovely Easter holiday with their mum and dad. They got a basket full of lovely surprises and treats.

Writing

Tevita has been doing some writing at home. He can share his ideas to his mum and then copy under mum's writing. Tevita is showing improvement and is forming letters correctly.

Cupcakes

One of the things Jimmy Tai likes doing at home with his family is baking chocolate cupcakes. His mum, Jade said they had lots of fun mixing the ingredients together. The best part was eating the delicious cup cakes. Yummy!

Google Hangout

Team One had another Google Hangout session today. The teachers and children were really happy to see each other. Children talked about what they've doing during the lockdown. Alex baked cupcakes with his family, Timothy likes playing with his dinosaur. Other children enjoyed completely their worksheets and doing the online activities on the class site. It was nice seeing everyone and I hope we can get more children and parents online for our next hangout session.

Cullai's Superhoes

Cullai has been a very busy boy. He loves drawing and wanted to share this with us.

Timothy's Home Learning Story

This morning Timothy and I had a video chat. It was so nice to see him and talk about what his been doing at home with his family. He look happy and showed me his dinosaur and his transformer which was Bumble Bee. Later in the day Ana, his mum emailed me some photo's.
Ana said:
" Here are some photo's of Timmmy doing some fun activities at home and one of them is painting. Timothy and Sione were painting in the T-Rex statue and Elijah and Blessing were painting in the Stegosaurus statues.They had lots of fun! Timothy loved every moment. Timothy and his brothers love exercising. Every morning we have an exercise routine. Timothy loves to dance so we've made sure that we all do it together as part of our exercise routine."

That's wonderful Ana! I love the photo's and those boys are definitely keeping you all fit and healthy.
Thank's for sharing.

Duplicating

Akanesi can draw a shapes and then duplicate them. She can make lots of the same shapes. If she makes too many shapes she can delete them. It's really easy.
