Whakamanawa

Kia ora wonderful Whakamanawa. This page will have some of our learning and things specific to our class. Let Miss Waho know if you have any questions or need anything to be clarified.

Kia ora Te Rōpū Whakamanawa. We have all experienced lockdown learning before so this time around, we will aim to improve on what we did last time and make the most of this opportunity. Check out our weekly slide to see what is ahead for the week. I will use this as our main class navigation space.

During discussions in our class Meets, Daisy suggested that we do an activity around what we want to do in the future. Miss Cabral decided that was a great thing for us to do so here is a task for the day. You have your own copy in your Inquiry folder.

During lockdown, Whakamanawa had a pet day and we all love animals, so Miss Cabral has created a fun learning task that we can create and share.

We all love a cute puppy and dogs. Check out this activity that will help you focus in on our canine friends.

Miss Cabral has created a learning activity for us to get into some coding. At our 10.00 am Meet, she will go through how to do this. You have a copy of this slide in your CyberSmart folder.

This week, Miss Cabral will take us through some Whare Tapa Whā learning and exploring. Check out this link from Sparklers for some more ideas.

The start of Spring has arrived so getting outside and exploring our environment is particularly nice at this time of year. You have a copy of this slide in your 'Other' folder. Remember that our weekly value is Challenge Yourself and Give Things a Go. Have a go at creating a Nature Journal. Check out our recorded daily Meet to see Miss Cabral's explanation of this activity.

This weekend is Father's Day. To celebrate this and to make someone's day, we have a Special Someone slide. You will find this in your 'Other' folder. You can use it as a token of gratitude and appreciation for a special adult in your home.

Keeping ourselves active is really important for our physical wellbeing. Miss Cabral has created a collaborative slide for us to collate and try out a range of physical activities.

This slide is a shared slide that all of us in Whakamanawa can contribute to. This is a space for us to share some of our favourite lockdown music with each other.

This year, to support the Cancer Society's annual fundraiser, Daffodil Day, we had some cool events planned at school. We have been doing online fundraising and have raised over $700 so far. We will fill our Google Meet screens with yellow and participate in a range of activities that are daffodil based.

Use the Google Drawing below to complete the range of activities.

The 2020 Paralympic Games have started and New Zealand have an impressive team representing our country. Make sure you check out some of the coverage.

We have been really impressed by the creative ways teachers are encouraging children to make lockdown learning fun and interactive.

In one of our daily class Meet sessions, one of the students suggested that we do something involving challenges for Whakamanawa. We created a Google Slide and decided what areas of challenge we would have and came up with physical, creative, social and kindness.

Prior to lockdown, we welcomed Miss Cabral to our class. Miss Cabral is from Brazil which is great for us because Whakamanawa love learning new languages. Here is a slide that Miss Cabral created to continue our learning.

A treaty is an agreement between two groups of people. During our learning about The Treaty of Waitangi, we co-created a Whakamanawa treaty. We will recite parts of our treaty every day to help us to recall and act on what we have agreed to.

For Term Three, we will use this slide to work on our handwriting.

We are learning about different types of food and organising them into categories.
