Online learning 2021

 Whanaungatanga is the theme for the year at our school and during this lockdown we have definitely shown this. Room 8 have been having our Google meets twice a day everyday and its lovely to see everyone and connect with eachother. We are keeping spirits high with sharing what we are doing and the students have taken to playing games with eachother. We can't wait to get back to school but for now we will see eachother online, and it seems space is where most of the students are finding themselves.

Home learning

 Coronavirus is a virus that through rampant spreading has created a pandemic for our world. We are all in this together. We need to do what we need to do to keep those vulnerable in our society safe from the effects of this virus. So when they asked us to stay home, we stayed home and the humans adapted to living and continuing to learn through the internet. We were online doing our writing, reading, inquiry and connecting with our classmates through google meets. Not ideal, but a new way to do things. Here are some of room 7 students learning online.

Y7 and 8 Volleyball

Term 2 the year 7 and 8 students are doing Volleyball. They are learning their ball skills which include setting, serving, spiking, digging and passing. They have really enjoyed learning these new skills and practicing with their peers. Some students did get a little competitive but whats wrong with a little competition, as long as we can be gracious losers when we need to. Because the students were doing so well in their lessons, the faculty decided to have a teachers vs student match!!!

Despite a fantastic game the teachers' skills proved too seasoned and they won the match. 

Positive relationships

Positive relationships has been the theme of our Kiwi can sessions.  Room 7 has participated enthusiastically in all the sessions and they've especially enjoyed competing against each other in the general knowledge quiz. Room 7 has been excelling in their team work as can be seen in these pictures.
