I think, it could be a good day to say, a big huge…THANK-YOU to all the parents of Kotuku class. You make sure that your child gets to hangouts and you make sure they complete the set activities. THANK-YOU

Today Kotuku learned  something a little bit different. I can see that it is going to be an excellent tool for when we get back into school.

Today Jamboard was in!! SO over the next few days we will see just what Kotuku class can create. So watch this space people. We have one in already! Well done Aahil

All the hard work just keeps on coming in and there is great work being completed by everyone. 

We are all learning how to sign  language our name, which we are going to present at an assembly. So you will just have to wait for those videos.

Remember Kotuku, I am waiting for those challenges: I have too:

Make a coffee cake

Do the floss dance in the rain

Clean the kitchen floor!

Make some scones

All of which I have to video

 So now: here are some photos of Kotuku activities

I have never made Oobleck Violet.

Having a fun time with the scavenger hunt with her  little brother

This is a bit tricky to read, but Violet, Tasman and I read the book 'Richie the Mouse'. Their task was to draw me, Ms Ritchie, as the mouse. 

I make a fabulous mouse Violet and Tasman.

That is  a rocking good space ship Pippa!

During lockdown and level 3, some of Kotuku have been writing to each other.

Scarlett inside her reading hut. It looks very comfy.

Going to make this a really large image, so that everyone would like a piece

Wow!  this is our first Jamboard!!!!! I LOVE IT Aahil. It is all very new

but I am super proud that you gave this ago! Yes superstar. It was from their reading book Mrs Grimble's Grapevine

Sam's super large space-rocket… the best thing is he can get inside it.

Sam and his Mum have been working on fractions together.  I loved the video Sam as I could hear your brain ticking while you were working these tricky questions out. 

Yes, we are still completing our spelling.

Fancy writing! Even better than Ms Ritchie!

How to reconnect with grandparents-  from Violet

Hokitika at it's best!

Love this Isla and I love the video as well, so watch out for them to come onto the blog

The biggest piece of Pounamu that I have seen Mateus. You could carve your own necklace.

Just as well you didn't do these on Dad's Lawn Olly!

Did you make it Isla? Ms Ritchie would have fallen off!

Please say well done to a group of 6yr olds in their first blog site

Wow not quite sure where to start with all the work that my students have completed over lockdown and more recently level 3.

This might not be the most exciting blog, but my class love the fact that they can see themselves, and to me, as a teacher, that is the most important, they love it.

Olly and his fabulous ANZAC memorial

Some some of the excellent work being completed by my fabulous class. So many photos and videos to put up. So look out world!

Crazy hair day for Tasman! Looking pretty hairy!

Just wait until you see the front of this crazy hairstyle!! It will be in the next installment

How did you do that Sam? I still have yellow hair from my crazy hairstyle

BUT you have to wait to see it……

Elizabeth is showing Kotuku how creative she has been over the last 5 weeks. 

Watch out for all the other art activities and scavenger hunts! Just so much work being completed!!!!

I love this photo-board!  

I asked my class to complete a photo-board of their grandmother/grandfather or both. 

I am so happy that Kotuku class are now  able to see their extended family, if they live nearby.

Watch out for the more photos/ photo boards and videos from Kotuku. You are all ROCKSTARS!

What else has Kotuku been busy with over our time at home?
