Welcome back! While you were away...

I see myself as a learner and I also like setting myself a challenge. So in the holidays, while it was far too windy to achieve anything else, I decided I wanted our blog to have the ability to leave voicemails. I spent some time researching, visiting other blogs and playing around. Guess what?! I mastered how to do it! Now that it is set up all you have to do is click on the Voicemail Bar on the right side of your screen and follow the prompts.

We are going to be quad blogging with other schools from around NZ this term and this will be perfect for other learners, people at home and in our school community to leave us messages.

So let's play a game. At home tonight, send a voicemail telling us about a highlight from your holidays. We will listen to them during the week and see if we can work out the owner of the voice!

Ice Skating and Curling Fun!!

We had plenty of fun on the ice yesterday!! We all had a lesson for ice skating and then switched to curling. Jack and Lucas were getting pumped up for their Curling Competition on Friday. Can you find a photo of yourself?
When you have, leave a comment explaining what you are doing and something you have learnt from your icey experience!!

Today we went digital!!!

                

No more worksheets for us! Using our class website, we were able to access tutorial videos and our learning tasks online. Like anything new there were a few teething problems!!

Wow!! What an amazing couple of days we had up in Auckland! So many new connections, new learning and new ideas.
