Daily Quizizz - Have a go.



                                     NZ General Knowledge Quiz

Into week 2 and one of the most popular parts of our day seems to be the daily Quizizz Challenge.  The first one was an Anzac Quizz.  Parent's and students are welcome and it seems like  there are a few having multiple attempts at being top dog.  Come online and have a go.  At the time of writing this blog it seems like 'Jacks Mum' is in the lead of the Anzac Quiz.   Have a look at the links above to join us.  This is a challenge to the other classes.

New Learning.

Has been a wild ride over the last few weeks.   The 'official holidays'  ended and as of Wednesday the 15th we were into Term 2.  The holidays saw us doing a little 'Online Learning,'  (O.L), here and there just to whet our appetite, but the real stuff starts now.
Our Learning Site is the first port of call for our students and it is a wonderful idea for parents to go in and have a look around.   The first page is the hub for Kereru.  It has the blackboard at the top which acts as a quick reminder of whats up for the day.  There is also a calendar below that displays meetings and important events,  and a set of links to the learning areas.

Children should be doing a Google Hangout at least once every two or three school days.  It is understandable that things happen and that they may miss out.  In that case there are recordings of the Hangouts in the Media section of our Learning Site, and I will endeavor to catch up with them. Students should be able to self manage, (with your help),  in areas such as Reading,  writing and maths, and during the Hangouts I will be checking on all areas with the kids.

Although we are a school that uses many valuable resources online and we are connected and used to O.L. things will change and get easier.  Don't be afraid to send an email or ask questions.
