Exciting term ahead!

Wow this year is flying by! We are already in Term 3!!

This term is an exciting term for us as we are aiming to be blogging our learning far more often! Over the past couple of terms we have been learning lots of skills to become a smart learner, therefore a smart blogger. We will continue to develop these skills as the year goes by. 

We appreciate you taking the time to look at our classroom and individual blogs!

We are using the Toki Pounamu blog post checklist for each blog post we create! Here is the link if you are interested in finding out more about our blogging goals. 

Cross Country...

Last week all of Awahono year 4-8's participated in the Midland Line cross country in Kumara. On the day of cross country the staff we pleased to see our students show...Resilience when the going got tough students pushed through; Commitment to finishing the race; Respect through encouragement and support for fellow classmates and school members; Responsibility for behaviour out in public representing Awahono School to a high standard! 

It was great to see Awahono students modelling the school 3R's!!!

It was so evident that all of the Awahono parents and teachers were so very pleased the effort and dedication of all of our students on this day! We also very proud of those who have been selected for the West Coast cross country coming up this week. We wish those students all the very best on this day and we know you will make yourselves, your families and our school very proud of you!

Time Flys!

Wow! Three weeks have gone by already! Time to get back into regular blogging with everything we have been up to!

What a busy three weeks we have had here in Room Six! Over the past couple of weeks we have been revisiting being safe online. This has become an important focus in our classroom as we are all using our blogs more regularly and interacting with others on a variety of others tools. We have to ensure that we are making good choices online, keeping ourselves safe and interacting positively, thoughtfully and helpfully or not at all! 

Keep an eye out on our individual blogs for our learning related to this as we have been busy making a DLO (Digital Learning Object) to show how we can be safe online. 

Welcome back

Over the course of the term we will be having a variety of sports events including the football tournament,  cross country, west coast cross country and the year five and sixes have a rippa rugby tournament. We also have El Gregoe and Wig Wednesday to support child cancer. Overall it sounds like a very busy term and we can't wait to see what we get up to.

Hello and welcome back to Term 2 of 2016.

• How to interact on a blog...
• How to post comments- positively, helpfully and thoughtfully...
• What information we share on our blog and what we keep to ourselves...

Here are some examples of the work we have been completing.

Learn, Create, Share posters

Here is an image of some of us making some awesome posters!

The posters we were making display the words- learn, create and share.  These words represent the learning journey we each participate in.

Learn... is to learn new content, knowledge and skills.

Create... is to create something that shows understanding of the learning. 

Share... is to share new learning and knowledge with others and get feedback.
