On Monday we had a Garden to Table lesson and were asked to describe some vegetables using our senses.

The Taro has a mild nutty flavour. It smells like spinach. It looks like lily pads. When you pinch the taro it cracks.  Seini

Bingo!

Today in Cybersmart we learnt how to take screenshots and find different parts of our Hoiho class site. This is important so we can learn more and get places quicker. Here is Rosey's bingo card...

We have been learning about stars and planets. Here are some facts about stars

 

Space Poems

 Our inquiry in Hoiho is about space and how the moon orbits the Earth and the Earth orbits the sun. We know that it takes 365 days for the Earth to Orbit the Sun and that gives us seasons. We are learning about gravity too and gravity keeps us on Earth.

SMRF it!

Today in Cybersmart we were learning how to SMRF it. This is really important so that we can get on with our learning and find it again later on.

Here is Caleb's poster about how to SMRF it...

Our New Interactive White Boards

 

We have a lovely, special new touch screen white board.  It has an invisible rubber, you can write all over it. You can play games on it, like Guess my Number and you can draw on it. You can drag images around on it too. It has lots of colours and it helps make our learning more interesting

Lutepa and Armahni

 

 On Friday we went to the All Black Experience. It was amazing and we really enjoyed the Haka and playing with the rugby balls trying to catch lineouts, passing and testing our agility.

 Here is Toa with his toastie he made from food in the Kai boxes from Eat my Lunch. It was yummy

 

LOCKDOWN ACTIVITIES

During lockdown our school and community have been lucky to have Kai boxes from 'Eat my Lunch'. The boxes went home to every whanau and students have been posting the delicious and healthy meals they have been making with their whanau. Here are a few pictures of some yummy fried rice made by Kardius and a toastie made by Toa. 

  Kia ora e te whanau,

Tonight I am advising all staff and whanau that school will be closed next week due to Alert Level 3 being in place from 6 am - 28 February School onwards. The Prime Minister’s announcement tonight was made in light of further cases in South Auckland community and we hope everyone is safe and gives time for everyone involved to seek medical advice from their GP or Healthline if they have visited a place of interest - https://covid19.govt.nz/alert-system/alert-level-3/#alert-level-update-%E2%80%94-27-february-2021

Since this is another sudden lockdown, we would appreciate it if whanau could contact us if they need to send their child to school next week. Keep in mind, if no one else is able to look after their child/ren at home then please complete the Alert Level 3 registration form alternatively email or phone me directly before Monday. Level 3 Google form - https://forms.gle/QU3VVRHZsmffiXhV9

Student's are also invited to jump online via our class sites next week to continue learning online - www.wesleyprimary.school.nz on 1st of March onwards.

Stay in touch if you need support and awhina at this time. We are here for our tamariki and whanau.

Please be kind and nga mihi nui for your kia manawanui at this time for each other.
