Reading: The Story of Rona

During Week 7 some learners in Kōtuku decided to learn about a Māori legend of Rona and the Moon. Miss Skinner set the challenge to take their learning and create a movie retelling the legend to share with the rest of Kōtuku. This group of students have done such an amazing job, and we can't wait to see the next one. Keep up the good work!

Reading: Road Safety

During Week 5 some learners in Kōtuku decided to learn about Road Safety. Mr Gibson set the challenge that they needed to take their learning and share it with Ruru.

This caused some challenges especially as some quickly remembered that they just couldn't give them pages and pages to read as that was boring.

Special thanks to the Ruru children for letting us share. We are looking forward to the next time we get to do this.

BeFunky

We have enjoyed working with Miss Morgan as part of Uru Mānuka.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning about how to be SMART when sharing information online. We learned about a cool app called BeFunky that can change photos.

While Miss Morgan was away Mr Gibson challenged the learners in Kōtuku to create an Explain Everything Slide (static) that had a disguised classroom object on it. We also had to give a clue of what it is.

Check them out below.

 

Our Walk to Wigram

As you know Kōtuku walked down into Wigram to visit the new site, the landing and a Rest home.
A huge Thank You to the parent helps and the businesses that could speak with the children on that day.

But why?

This term the students in Kōtuku are learning about our new Community and how we can leave a lasting impression on it. The students came up with lots of ideas of things they saw during their walk and have been doing lots of thinking around this.

Take a look at the slide show below of where we are up to.
