Distance Learning with Tui Whanau

We have been setting up preparing for this Whaea Teressa and Mrs Mundy. We have sent home information and duffy books to read along with work books for those who don't have internet access.

Today is our first official day for distance learning. I am excited to see who comes to hangout and has a go with this different style. I can't say new as I have been using Tui's google site over the last two years to engage and help with digital learning. The new part for me is the hangouts. I have set a space in my kitchen (where the table is). I could go into the tiny office (but it is a mess) which I use for crafts, scrapbooking, painting, drawing and storing teaching stuff I have put away (actually I have multiple of these places, the office a bedroom and the attic) maybe now is a good time to sort to more and cull lots! But I might need it!!!

Looking at myself in the Hangout I can see I still need to make some changes I love the art but the light is reflecting off it and into the camera, which I find distracting so I can imagine the students not wanting to look and pay attention too.

Waka Journey - Writing Poems

Here are a few of our Acostic Waka Poems

Waka Journey - Dance and Drama

We have been learning how people travelled over the oceans to get to new land often to start their lives over from scratch. There were many hardships they faced.

 We have created a small dance and drama to show the journey they faced to the music of Misey Rika's Tangaroa Whakamautai

Summer Field Day 2020 - Touch

Mrs Mundy organised us into two teams, one in each groups so we didn't play each other. She even had to ref a couple of times, it was okay when she remembered to count the touches correctly. It was a great day and even though there was a small shower the day was hot and tiring.

Summer Field Day 2020 - Softball

Thank you Mrs AhFook for training us and Jess and Whaea Hera for making sure we knew what we were doing.

Summer Field Day 2020 - Cricket

We have been training with MR Church for the last 5 weeks. We have learn a lot about catching and hitting the ball. Cricket is a team game, that means we can't leave everything up to one person, we all have to do our bit.
