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.

  1. Tēnā kautau e te rūma Kereru o te kura o Kaniere,

    Ngā mihi ki a kautau katoa. I kite awau i a kautau paetukutuku a akomanga me te mīharo. I rata awau ki ngā whakatauāki, he akoranga kei rō ia whakatauāki, pērā ki te mea i iri ki te whārangi pāngarau 'He uaua te pāngarau mō ngā tangata e whā ki rō te toru'. Nā tētahi i whakaatu mai i tēnei whakatauki ki awau, 'He moana pukepuke e ekengia e te waka', ahakoa te aha, ka taea tonu.

    Kia Ora room Kereru of Kaniere School,

    Many Greetings to you all. I've had a look at your Class Site and it's awesome. I liked the quotes, there are lessons in every quote, such as the quote posted on your Mathematics page '4 out of 3 people struggle with maths'. Someone showed me this proverb 'He moana pukepuke e ekengia e te waka - A choppy sea can be navigated', no matter what, you still can...

    Noho ora, noho haumaru ki a kautau katoa
    Stay well & safe

  2. Hi my name is Liam C from Kaniere School.

    An interesting part was when you showed the pantry with all the food in it with the prices and how to earn the money to buy them.

    What made you want to make this?
