Hybrid Learning - China

This week we have continued on with our hybrid learning model as we still have lots of children at home isolating. We do also have lots of children coming back to school once their isolation has finished which is fantastic! We have decided to keep the learning fun and enjoyable for everyone and thought this week we would check out another country. This week we have been learning all about the country of France. We also normally would have had year 5 and 6 camp this week so we ran fun days at school on Thursday and Friday! We thought everyone at home should also have fun on these days so we completed our learning about Moana and Encanto. Check out some of the work that we have completed this week and please feel free to leave a positive comment.

Animation Voiceover by Leilani

Kia ora,talofa lava,ola and greetings to you  all my name is Leilani and this is my animation for term 2 2017.We are learning about fishing  and sailing and how it  has changed over the years. When Maori people first arrived in New Zealand they used boats called waka’s. Waka’s were made out of wood and they had Maori carvings around them. Later on when the pakeha arrived they made boats that are called sailing boats and they had sails. Then a few more years later they add  lights, anchors, hotels,engines  and more! Once I saw a boat with a pool and a huge slide. This sailing boat is super cool they use it in the America's cup.The sailing boats go super fast and you have to pedal so that the boat moves.

Can He Save Her by Tehillah

One night a girl named Belle decided to go for a walk. Belle went walking through the streets towards her favourite cafe. As she was walking she could hear someone creeping up behind her. Before she knew what it was it was too late. This person behind her grabbed at her. This person wanted all of her money. So he took her to his lair. Belle tried to call the police but the guy had a gun in his hand so she dropped her phone on the ground. The attacker yelled “leave the phone or you die!” Belle cried “HELP ME! HELP ME!” Spiderman heard her cries for help. Spiderman burst through the window Bom! Bang! Spiderman took out the bad guy with on big kick. Spiderman took the bad guy to jail. Spider man turned to Belle and said “ there are dangerous people out there so be careful.” Spiderman and Belle became best friends. THE END

Now thats thinking!

This term as a school we are going to be exploring and learning about technology and how it has changed over time. Mr Burt started us off for the term by showing us how technology has changed over time at Pt England School. We got to see the first lot of technology that was used at our school and then what we have now it was pretty amazing how far we have come! Team 4 and Room 8 will be learning about what kinds of technology that Maori had before Pakeha arrived in New Zealand. That is our big question that we will be focusing on and there will be many exciting topics that we will cover. This week our writing task was to think about what our topic could look like this term. Please read our blogs and leave us some comments.
