Aha! What a Genuinely Glorious Group

We are indeed just a genuinely gorgeous group of individuals that are all working together during this lockdown period.

You all know that we have been meeting every day using google meet. You've read about our online quizzes. We've also had a crazy hat/hair/wig meet. This was such a fun way to end an awesome week last week. We truly had a lot of craziness going on. It's great to see that even though our way of working at the moment is different, we are still able to laugh, smile and have some fun. Okay we have had more than 'some' fun, we have had a whole heap of fun! :)

This week is no different. Our quiz this week is about the teachers. Tamariki will be trying to guess which teacher has done different things or whether the information about that teacher is true or false. For those playing, I'll give you a little hint. One of the questions is, "True or False - Mrs Taylor has a cat called Humphrey." The answer is ..... false. Actually Mrs Taylor is allergic to cat hair so there is no cat called Humphrey. There is a teddy called 'Teddy' though. Friday is also the 1st May so we are having a "M" party on our hangout.
                "A party at 9am!" you say.
                "Absolutely," I say, "it will be a blast."

While we have been at home, we have been continuing with a shared story. This term our shared book is Possums 2U by Vince Ford. Vince is a fabulous New Zealand author who writes about life in New Zealand. Ms Dods has been recording herself reading each chapter. These can be found on our class website if you are interested in listening to this awesome story. We are enjoying it. Alongside having to answer some questions, we have been getting busy and creative based on different things that have happened in the story. These were our choices last week:



So as you can see, we could choose between making a possum, a poster, a cartoon, a shelter, or even a possum trap. Here is some of our awesome work:



See, I told you we were a genuinely glorious group!
See ya next time :)
