Welcome Back to Term 2. ANZAC - what does it mean to you?

Welcome back! We have had a busy couple of days back, getting back into school routines and starting up new programmes such as KOS with Constable Gordon. We have also been looking at ANZAC day. Today we reflected on what ANZAC day means to us, read a picture book called "Jim's Letters" based on real letters sent between two brothers from Ranfurly during WW1.

 We wrote some poems collaboratively on our Google Classroom. We hope to share them on Friday, and Saturday at the memorial.

Don't forget to check out our brand new learning journey blogs.

Ready for Student Led Conferences!

We are ready and pumped up for our student led conferences today! We are so excited to share our learning and share what we know and have been doing in class to our parents.
Here is the list of questions we brainstormed as a class for our parents to ask us about.

Questions for Student Led Conferences

As a class we have brainstormed some questions we would like to be asked for our student led conferences.

What do you enjoy at school?

What do you find difficult?

Show me your numeracy tracker. What does it mean - why is it highlighted? Tell me about how you learn maths in Tawhai.

What have you been learning in maths? - can you show me an example?

Tell me about mad maths minute.

Tell me about the daily 5. Show me your task board. 

What do you learn to do in the daily 5? 

What do you do and learn when you read with the teacher?

What are you trying to improve on in your reading?

What are you learning to do in writing? What is a memoir? What tense have you been learning? - tell me about it. What have you been writing about? - could you show me some writing? How have you been adding details to your writing?

Show me your spelling graph for the term. 

What have you been doing for inquiry?

How are you using technology to learn?

Do you want to show me or tell me about anything else?

This is us practicing our student led conferences with our 'parents'.

We hope you enjoy! 

Our new learning Journal App

We have been exploring a new learning journal app called "SeeSaw". This will be great for the kids to show what they have been learning in class and talk about it. Mrs Souness can share the learning with parents to see privately, or to the blog to share with the world. The students can look at the progress of their learning over the whole year.

Here is Savana talking about her learning. Well done Savana!
