Hybrid Learning - Antartica

 This week has been an interesting week for us all at school. We have had lots of people at home self-isolating due to being close contacts or being unwell so we have had to change up our learning a little bit this week. We started off the week looking at Encanto for something a bit different when on Monday we didn't have many children at school at all! So as a school we have decided to run hybrid learning. This means that we will be running online meets at home for the children who need to stay home and then have face to face learning for those children who are well and can come to school. 

To keep our learning fun and interesting we have decided this week to look at Antartica and have been learning about this at home and also at school. Some of our students in room 10 have been posting all about this learning on their blogs so make sure you check out the links below!

Responsibility

 This year our school value is "Responsibility." Mr J has created another outstanding visual graphic which you can see below!

As you can see our value is: Responsibility, It's up to you - Kua riro māu. This is a value that we will be focusing on all year. This week room 10 decided to find out all about responsibility and what it means to be a responsible member of our class, school, community and within our whānau. We conducted some research about what responsibility is and then thought about how we could show this at school, at home and in the community. Check out some of the facts we came up with below. Make sure to click on the name of the students so that you can check out their blog posts and leave them a positive comment on their blogs. Thankyou to Samson and Maung Maung for sharing!

The Treaty of Waitangi

 This week we have been learning all about the Treaty of Waitangi. Last weekend Waitangi day was celebrated on Sunday 6th February and we had a public holiday for this on Monday. We had to find out some key facts about the Treaty of Waitangi such:

• Where and when it was signed 
• Who signed it 
• What was written in Treaty of Waitangi
• Other key pieces of information that we found to be important.

Once we had completed some research as a class we had to write down these four facts in our own words. Here are some facts found out by Cayden and Aliana that we have shared below. Did you know all of these key facts? Let us know what your thoughts are on our Treaty of Waitangi facts by leaving us a positive comment.

Our Place Our Space

2021 Manaiakalani Film Festival 

What is the most important thing in the world - He tangata, he tangata, he tangata - We belong!

Room 910 presents our 2021 film festival movie Our Place Our Space! This year has been a bit challenging with being in lockdown for a very long time. But it has given us time to think about where we belong and how important our community is during these times. We all really love our community of Tāmaki and this is where we feel like we belong. We hope you enjoy our movie!
