Arrrrrg you ready for a treasure hunt?

When looking into direction we focused on using a compass and giving and following instructions. Students were given the challenge to make a treasure map by giving directions to someone in their whanau. Check out some of our maps below, where would you end up if you followed this map in your home?

WEEK 5 MAHI

What have we been uptoo??

Te Kahu has been producing some amazing work while working from home. We have focused on ANZAC day, where students researched the Maori Battalion, listened to letters from the war and designed their own Poppies. In maths we have been focusing on shapes, area and perimeter. Everyone has been doing a wonderful job completing their tasks. We also held our first whanau quiz which was a great success and saw Milin's Whanau and Koby's Whanau take out the win.
I am looking forward to seeing more awesome home learning this week!
Keep it up Te Kahu

AREA & PERIMETER

For math last week we focused on area and perimeter, students in Te Kahu were given the challenge of creating a blueprint of their homes and including the area and perimeter for each room.  
Here are two floor plans from a couple of home learning superstars, Ryan and Piper. Didn't they do amazing!

PROCEDURAL WRITING

For our first week of home learning Te Kahu looked at procedural text. Their task was to choose a topic they wanted to teach to someone else and create a video and a piece of writing that would help do this. In their writing they had to make sure they used the correct chronological sequence, that they used detail and that their instructions were specific. 
Here is a link to Te Kahu's HOW TO Videos, Check it out! 

HOME LEARNING

Te Kahu is off to an awesome start with our new way of teaching and learning. Remember that all mahi is on our class site as well as the link to our class hangouts. I am loving seeing all of your faces everyday. 

Here is our weekly timetable for scheduled classes. Don't forget that there is lots of other awesome work and links available on our class site. 

Every day students will be filling out a timetable of their day and add in what they have worked on for class, completed at home and any other activities they have participated in. Keep up the great learning Te Kahu :)
