Distance Learning - Term 2, Week 3

With ANZAC Day being observed on Monday and a Teacher Only Day on Tuesday, this week of learning has been a shorter one.

Our literacy and numeracy has carried on and we have started a science theme for our daily challenges and STEM Challenge.  We have made lava lamps, fireworks in a jar and volcanoes with learners posting photos and videos on our class Padlet and on their Blogs.

We have also had scavenger hunts and quizzes on our morning Google Meet.  It has been lots of fun!

Congratulations to our FLAX Learner Award recipients Madeleine and Natalie.

Distance Learning 2020 - Term 2, Week 2

We have been so impressed with how well everyone in Rimu Learning Hub is going with their learning from home.  We have Google Meets as a class every morning where we catch up and talk about the day ahead and answer questions.  Being able to share our screen to show what we are talking about has been invaluable and we also have learners share their screens at times to give them support as well.

Our focus this week has been on ANZAC Day, which is coming up on 25th April.  As well as our normal literacy and numeracy time, we have built ANZAC challenges into our day.  We have also used padlet, flipgrid and blogs for the learners to share what they have been learning.

Congratulations to this week's FLAX Learner Award winners: Hunter and Kieran!

Distance Learning - Term 2, Week 1

This week was very much about setting the routines of what we are doing for our Distance Learning - going through the learning that is on our site, showing everyone where they can access links and logins, answering questions and connecting with each other on our daily Google Meets.

Check out some of our challenges on our Padlet!
