Term 2 Reflection :)

Kia Ora! Sadly, Term 2 for 2020 is coming to an end. We have had many fun and tragic times this term. Lockdown learning ~ Back to school and more!  I have had amazing highlights from this term!

Lockdown Learning~
Lockdown learning was fun, yet tragic. Jumping on calls every morning to learn online with our teachers was a fun way to keep in contact with each other. We stressed a lot, not knowing if we were able to go back to school, due to Covid-19. Each day we were given our normal literacy and maths slides to complete and on top of that we were also given a education pack. Lending us, coloring pencils, books and pens!.

Back to school~ 
Coming back to school was a struggle as we still had to follow a lot of strict rules. We were still not able to touch people as we had to 'keep our distance.' Being back at school was a reliever, being able to see our teachers, friends and more was very heartwarming. We also made a move to our new home class. Off to Mrs Stone! For the past few weeks we listened in with our Prime Minister and made sure we were sticking to her rules. Sooner or later, we moved to level one, allowing us to now come closer with each other.

40 Famine~
40 hour famine was one of my highlights this term. We were able to create house forts out of cardboard. Play reverse charades and drink juice and eat bali sugars. We shared our thoughts on why we fundraise and fast for this cause. Making massive impacts on childrens and families lives is a good thing to do as some of them need a lot of help! Being able to be one of the peoples making impact on their lives and experiencing what they have been through means a lot!

Matariki~
This was a fun day for our whole school to connect and celebrate Maori New years. We got split up into different groups. Art and crafts, Sports, Cooking and Movie Making. Each group did their own creative thing. Making and doing things. I was in the arts and crafts group and I must say, it was a pretty fun experience. Others made delicious cookies, played some pretty cool sports, made some creations and movies! It was amazing to see our whole school come together and celebrate such an important even with everyone else! :)

As you have read, we have had quite a on and off term! We have also had a special person visit us at our school assembly. Joseph Parker! Thank you for sharing your experience and your amazing and inspiring quotes. I was also lucky enough to be a school leader and run the school assemblies! It was really fun!

I want to thank all the teachers, student and staff members for making amazing things possible this term. And to all you students, thank you for participating in a lot of awesome events! Can't wait for another term of excitement. Especially year 8 camp! I'm ready :)

Also a massive farewell to Miss Donaldson! Love towards you on your new journey! God Bless, we will miss you lots :)
