Term 4 Week 2

 Kia ora koutou, 

This week has been a short one with Labour Weekend. I think Room 13 appreciated the extra day of rest. 

Room 13 have continued their focus into Geometry- specifically Tessellation and what that is. 

Isla shared a pattern she made to her blog. Ka pai!  Leave her a comment about what you think of her work so far. George shared his as well. 

We also started to look at Te Whare Tapa Whā and our own wellbeing.

Maimuna wrote a but about her wellbeing.

As it is Halloween week, Mr Jones set a few challenges for the class.

Leon has already completed his choice of activity on Minecraft (Shot Leon!!!!)

Check out his blog

The class were very excited to hear about the "indicative" return date to school- November 15th. Here's hoping we can all end our year back inside the classroom!

Term 4

 Kia ora koutou, 

Welcome to Term 4. Definitely did not expect to still be in Lockdown going into Term 4 but I'm sure we will make the best of it. 

Our online learning has already begun. Here's Room 13's schedule for this week:

This week New Windsor is celebrating Niuean and Cook Island Languages. Whaea Tini has done an awesome job with the language sites for the school and has given us lots to challenge ourselves with. Take a look:

For Writing we have looked at what being responsible means. The class made posters showing what they think it means to be responsible in a context of their choice. 

Check out Amelia's poster and leave her a comment. 

Lucija made one focusing on being tidy and recycling. 

For Math, Room 13 have started looking at Geometry, specifically in Tivaevae patterns. 

We have discussed some key words that pop up in Geometry like rotation, reflection and parallel. 

To help us learn some of these words Nazahah recommended we watch a video that she has used to help her learn them.  Here's the link.
