Last day of Level 3 Schooling

Today our students who have been at school in Alert Level 3 celebrated the end of lockdown with pizza for lunch!
They are really excited to see everyone when we all go back to school next week.
Thank you Miss Courtney for organising pizza for lunch.  And thank you Mrs McIntyre, Miss Bannan and Miss Goslin for looking after our senior students who came to school in Alert Level 3.  We really appreciate it!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Yesterday Miss McLeod's reading group finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Today we did a Padlet to record our ideas about our favourite part out of the entire book and why. See this below.

Have you read the book? It's quite different to the movie. What is your favourite part?

Truth or Lie? Can you guess?

Wow! I can't believe that we've done 3 weeks of online learning!

In Miss McLeod's writing hangouts, we've been learning how to write comics using a programme called Pixton. In our first lesson (3 weeks ago) the children got to create their own avatar. Their avatars all got added to our 'class photo'. (See below)

We've now made 3 comics and each week we've learned new tricks and got better at making them. This week we made 'Truth or Lie' comics. The task was to create a  talk show in a comic with the guest having to say a truth and a lie and the audience (blog readers) need to work out which is the truth and which is the lie.

Here are some below...see if you can work out which is the truth and which is the lie in each!

If I could talk to a snake, I would ask it...

Today in reading with Miss McLeod (online), we read chapter 2 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It's called the Vanishing Glass.

After we read the chapter, we played another Kahoot and then we did an activity where we had to think about what we would ask a snake if we could talk to it.

Here are the questions we would like to ask...

What would you ask a snake if you could talk to it?

Welcome to Term 2

It is great to get back into some learning (even if it is at home online).
Today Mrs Jones' reading groups (10 that joined the Google Hangout) read a story on EPIC called "Memoirs of a Goldfish" and then they did a quiz on EPIC that Mrs Jones made.
These are our results - 2 people got everything 100% correct!!  Great work Tovie and Son.

Tyler's Art Posts

Tyler has been super busy in lockdown posting a new drawing on his blog each day.  He has been using YouTube clips that teach him how to draw.
I think they are all pretty fantastic - what do you think?
Which one is your favourite?  My favourite is the haunted house.

Google Hangout

Hi everyone!

It was so awesome to see all of your happy smiling faces this morning on our Google Hangout- especially because we were expecting to not be able to see you all!

My favourite part was hearing about what you'd all been up to! I love that most of you are continuing some form of learning from home! I especially impressed with those of you who are all updating your blogs regularly as well.

We miss you all and will organise some more Google Hangouts for after the holiday break. Remember though, that you can still email us if you have any questions and we will reply as soon as we can!

A little reminder for your next Google Hangout to make sure you are not in your bedroom- remember your cybersmart lessons!

Keep up the great stuff you're doing during this time everyone!
- Miss McLeod
