God's Blessings

By Anonymous -
As a whole class on Friday we discussed what blessings God has given us.

Fist we thought about these blessings then we shared them with the class and added them to the brainstorm on the whiteboard. Each person in the class shared at least one thing that God has blessed them with. Miss Slattery wrote all our blessings on the whiteboard for us to reflect on.

God has blessed us with so many different blessings such as; friends and family, nature, food, the world, animals, shelter, our senses and our individual talents.

We discovered that God has blessed us with so many different blessings and we are lucky to have all these different things in our lives. We are grateful for the blessings God has given us.

Don't be a water WASTER

By Anonymous -
  Don't be a water waster! This week Tui's kindness challenge it to not be a water wasters. Tui had to reflect on questions like: - What areas of the world DON'T have access to clean water? South Sudan, Dubai, Third World Countries, India, Africa - Why? These countries are less fortunate, pollution, drought, hot land (desert), don't infrastructure  -What can we do? Stop polluting, eco-friendly, don't abuse our access to water - be water conscious, fix leeks, reduce bad habits with water (long showers), donate to help those less fortunate. BIG QUESTION: How does this change the world? It can help people live healthier and longer lives, help people who are less fortunate and face struggles in life, it can help the environment, we need to make sure that ALL have access to clean water especially those that are sick and in need of clean water.  When you do things to help others, you encourage others to do the same.  We are now more mindful of the importance of clean wate

Swimming

By Anonymous -
Over the last 7 weeks we have been practicing our swimming skills and preparing for swimming competitions. We have perfected all our strokes such as free style, breast stroke, back stroke and some butterfly. Each of us has worked really hard on improving our swimming and making sure to work hard on our starts and finishing. Diving was a big focus during our lessons, we needed to make some changes with our diving positions so that we could improve our starting positions so that we could put ourselves in a good position to win our race. We have improved a lot over the last seven weeks of practice and have become awesome swimmers.

 COVID has been an obstacle that we have been able to overcome. It has been so wonderful to connect with our family of learners online and check in with how we are all going. Every morning at 8:30 we have our morning hangout, we all connect to the call and check in with whats on for the day. We then access all learning tasks through our class site, we choose what choice-board activities we want complete each day. At 13:00 we have our workshop hangout where we have a mini lesson each day on different topics. This is great as we are able to extend our learning and share what we know about the topic. We have also had whole school assemblies on hangouts where we have been able to celebrate all the amazing online learning that has been happening all around the school. It was so cool to be able to see other school whanau that we haven't been able to see during lockdown. Even though it has been a very difficult time it has been so great to be able to have some consistency and continue wit
