Looking Back, Looking Forward

We have continued staying connected with our online learning this week. Many of us are enjoying telling each other some great jokes at the start of our hangouts. Some jokes are funnier than others!

Today we also did a quiz using our baby photos. This week I asked the children to send me a photo of when they were a baby or a toddler. I know that many of our families enjoyed the chance to look back and to see the photos that were taken and to discuss the different things that were happening at the time of the photos. We then used these photos and created a kahoot (cos Te Mahuri loooves kahoot) to try and guess which of our students is in the photo. It was a lot of fun!

If you would like to have a look at our then and now photos then check out this presentation ...


It's important to be able to look back and reflect upon times past. It's also important to be able to look forward and consider what might come. In the future I hope that our students and families look back on this time and that they will be able to reflect on some of the positives rather than just the negatives. I also hope they can look forward with hope at this time and not dread. And as I look to the future, I look forward to being able to see our students again face to face. While being online together has been fun, our face to face interactions are awesome too. Stay strong beautiful people, you really are an awesome group.

  1. It is a joy to see the wonderful connections that are being made online. Hopefully it will not be too long until we can look back on these times and be proud of how we all worked together to keep learning while being supportive of each other. Outstanding effort!
