Day Three of no school | Enjoying your day ? |

So today was the 3rd day of no school! At 11:59 New Zealand went into Covid-19 level 4. It's pretty scary knowing the whole of New Zealand are going into Level 4 and are isolating themselves for 4 weeks. I hope you're all doing well :)

Well anyways, distance learning has been pretty cool for the last couple of days. It's going really well. I find that people seem to sleep in when its time to call their literacy teachers but I also find that normal. I hope the teachers are finding distance teaching easy. Hopefully :)

To kick off our distance learning we started with literacy. It was fun! Miss Tapuke asked her students if they wanted to share their learning and knowledge. Marika started us off. The text they read was called East German Childhood. Half the time I didn't really know what they were talking about since I hadn't read their text but Marika gave us lots of information. Miss Tapuke then asked Campion (our reading group) & Waititi (Another reading group) some questions about our text. We answered them and Miss Tapuke sent us off to finish our work.

I'm still behind on some work but I'm trying to finish that off. I worked on my create tasks as time went by. Then it was time to watch PENN. And yes I watched a video off Archives. Me and my sister decided to watch some Fiafia items from 2018. It brought back a lot of memories. Me and my sister, like always went outside and played on the trampoline. Keeping fit :) We had some fruit and came back inside to carry on with work.

Once we came back inside I decided to watch the video Mrs Stone had put on the new presentation she had put up for us. We're still on the topic, Ratios! It's a lot of fun :) I completed the slides then switched back to literacy as I waited for time to pass by. Waiting to call Mrs Stone. Like yesterday, our call started at 1:00pm. I joined the maths call a few minutes before we were suppose to join but half the class had already joined! They were playing Kahoot. After they finished, Mrs Stone removed the people off the call and talked to the other half of the class that joined at 1:00pm.

Mrs Stone explained why we split into 2 groups. We all agreed that having 25 people on one call is very hard to deal with and so we split into 2 groups. Having around 13 people on the call for each session. This time the call was so much better. It wasn't so tragic like the last couple of times :) The other group played kahoot too! It was lots of fun :) We finished our Ratio Kahoot and I came 5th place, not bad. Having some time left we decided to have a fun kahoot game. We did superheros! Believe it or not, I came 2nd! Then we got sent off the call and carried on with our work while I listened to some relaxing music :)

I had a lot of fun today. I reckon I worked really hard. Even though I haven't quite finished my literacy work, I'm almost there!


Make sure to be safe & keep your distance.

Maybe get to know yourself better now that you'll have time :)

God loves you xo

Day Two of no school :) | What's up ? |

Today was the second day of no school. We've been learning at home and online with our chrome books! I started my morning off with a nice hot shower :) Then had my breakfast. After that, I got straight into work. I joined Mrs Tele'a at 8:30am, reading the daily time table. Also said the school karakia like usual, may have say the school mihi and sang Wairua Tapu as Mrs Tele'a wanted us too.

Usually on a Wednesday I'd be at Extension but because I was at home I got right into literacy.
This time I decided to do the create tasks because I've already answered the questions. Later on, it was finally time to call Miss Tapuke. This time it was different. She explained our tasks like usual but then gave us a quiz. She asked us questions about our texts, and we answered them :) After the quiz Miss Tapuke decided to send us off the hangout to do our work. I had a little break with my sister. We had a snack and played outside. It was lots of fun. After all, isolation is driving me crazy !

We came back inside and I carried on with my literacy task as my sister Eva went on with her school work too. I then decided to switch to maths :) Mrs Stone had new work set for us. I had a look at the video she had made for us and scrolled down to see a brand new slide waiting to be completed. I had a look at the video she had inserted in the slides and responded when she asked us too. She helped us complete the first 3 slides. She then let us try to solve the following slides.

It was a bit different as our maths call was moved to 1:00pm. Well, it was time to call each other! We did the rest of the word problems on the slide together on the call because some people were still confused (including me :) Once again, the call was very very very tragic! Some forgot to mute themselves and it was just, really confusing. It didn't help that it was a bit laggy but doing learning at home with your teacher is better then nothing :)

Once we finished out hangout Mrs Stone set us off to complete the presentation. We all got removed off the call one by one and did our learning for today. Time went by and all of a sudden it was 3:00pm!

It would've been the end of school but I kept pushing to get a couple of things finished.

In the end i'd say I'm proud of what I've accomplished today.

I hope you're all having a good time, don't forget to be safe!

God Bless xo

Day one of no school: How's it going?

I started my morning with a light breakfast and waited for time to pass by, 8:30 hit and I read our daily timetable. I said the school karakia and sang a little hymn. Then got straight into work. I had a little look at our reading work and waited for 9:00am to pass so I could request to join the hangout with Miss Tapuke. Finally I was able to join! Miss Tapuke explained our what our tasks were for the week. She then gave us time to ask our questions. After that we all said our goodbye's and set off to work. I read our group story again so I could have a better understanding of the story. Our story was called 'Moriori: A Story Of Survival.

I answered a few of the questions and well it was time to watch PENN. But because I was at home and no one was at school, there was no PENN. So I decided to watch something off our school Archives. I then had a little snack for morning tea and had a little break then did the bingo sheet Mrs Tele'a handed us. Later on I did some of my maths work. Had a flick through the presentation and answered a few of the questions. 12:20pm came around and it was time to call Mrs Stone about our maths work.

She explained our tasks just like Miss Tapuke did! We did a small workshop with each other, answering a few of the questions together and showing each other strategies of solving them. The call with Mrs stone and room 11 maths class was a bit Tragic. It was really noisy! But it was still a lot of fun :) Mrs stone then removed us from the call and again, we did our work.

It was then lunch time! I had a pie! It was amazing :) I had a little play outside on our trampoline and also played around with my younger sister Eva. 2:00 hit and it was the end of my lunch break :) It was time to do some home class learning. Usually we do FIOP (finish it off properly), Blog commenting or our inquiry work which is Te Whare Tapa Wha. So I decided to do FIOP. I eventually got to finish some work off and finally it was 3:00pm which means school was officially over!

I had an amazing day, I'm still not used to learning at home but I'll have to get used to it eventually.

Stay safe everybody and hope you had an amazing day! God bless you all xox
