Kapa Haka 2020

 Turanganui Kapa Haka Festival 2020 

This term is flying past my eyes, we have 2 weeks to go, then the Yr6’s are off to intermediate.  Last week our whole school participated in the Turanganui kapa haka festival. I was in the front row.  As we were walking on stage I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. 

We sang  E te ariki, Utaina, Rona, Ka mate haka, school haka and Wainui e. Before I knew it, it was time to watch wai and nui syndicate’s  performances.  

Change Makers (GRETA THUNBURG)

 

This terms speech topic is "Change Makers" I've decided to write my speech on Greta Thunberg, hopefully while reading you learn some more about Greta and what she has done/doing for our planet.

This week has been so chaotic, there's been lots of changes in our learning this term. This includes weekly roundups, ninja maths, learning through play, priorities,  fluency tutor and more. I’ve enjoyed the new changes that have been made. I am part of the group for this week’s weekly round up. To make our movie/video we are using iMovie. The video can only be 2 minutes maximum, the video has to be about this weeks learning in MLH! We’ve also started using  ninja maths, It's just three different columns of maths questions. 

I think of it like this: easy, medium & hard. LTP = Learning through play. It’s the first year that Moana Syndicate will be doing LTP. There’s different options to choose from. The options are : Lego, Makey Makey, Junkey Monkey & Cardboard Nation. Our priorities haven’t changed too much from last term, but it's just the check in that's changed. Fluency Tutor is a website that helps young and old students to improve in the fluency when it comes to reading. Everyone's excited to see what this term will bring to us, don’t forget to give me some feedback about my writing in the comments.

Covid - 19 Learning From Home

On Wednesday 25th of March lockdown began. Wow! Nearly 2 

months of being locked inside a house with 6 loud people! Learning 

from home was quite good from my side of things. Not just because 

I got to sleep in for an extra hour, but also because I got to control 

where I could sit, eat etc. I would much rather be at school. It's 

better when you can see people other than your family. How was 

your lockdown learning experience? 

Our teachers gave us priorities to do during lockdown. We also

 started using a new website called steps spelling. We used steps 

everyday for 20- 30 minutes. Every week was a different theme. We had 

themes like : Anzac, Animal Kingdom, World Famous, Story Time 

and Our World.  Check out one of my favourite tasks from Anzac weeks!

 My favourite priorities during lockdown would be Anzac
silhouette art, Anzac biscuit box, storytime book cover, six sentence story
and so much more!


Here is what the check in
looked like at the end of
week!

Overall lockdown was quite good! Thanks for reading!
