Week 6 back at school has been a blast! Here are some of the highlights of our first week back since Lockdown.
Everyone had news to share after such a long time away from the classroom. We brainstormed all the different things we had enjoyed doing during lockdown when we were in our bubbles. We selected some ideas from this list for our LockDown Comic. We have been working on these this week and will finish them in Week 7. (Spoiler alert, they will be spectacular!). In Maths, we have been doing Lockdown Statistics.
We enjoyed doing a friendship scavenger hunt, finding the right people to fill in our grids - people who biked or scootered or baked or played lego (and other such things) over lock down. There were 20 categories to fill in, which kept everyone busy for quite a while!
Lots of people enjoyed doing environmental art on SeesSaw, so we thought that it was a good idea to have another go at school. First, we collected leaves, twigs and seeds from the Nature Walk.
Every afternoon, we wrote in our school journal about our school day. People took their journals home to fill in entries for Saturday and Sunday so that we record a whole week at Level 2. Next week, we will finish our journals by writing about the things we liked the best, and the least, in our first week back at school.
We have been thinking about our feelings too. We read the Dr Suess book, 'My Many Coloured Day' and chose a feeling that was important, and then matched it to a colour and an animal! We will write some captions for these next week, before we display them on the classroom walls.
As we finished our MUST DO activities, we moved to MAY DO. Wallace and Lucas both brought Chinese chess sets that belonged to their Grandads to school. Here they are, setting up a game from Lucas's book shelf at home. Other people have been colouring insects in rainbow colours, doing electronics and playing with construction games.
We still have Music and PE in Level 2. Here we are singing with Mr McCully in the Music Room:
We have been doing hockey with Mr Dyer, and also practising our army moves in 'Captain Jack', in preparation for the Jump Jam play off with Room 19.

| This shows all the cool work we did on SeeSaw as part of our distance learning. This week, we have been concentrating on book work for a change, as our chrome books are being cleaned and return by people who borrowed them during lockdown. |

| Back in the classroom, we arranged our pieces into animals - we made owls, rabbits, elephants, penguins, birds, fish, mice, kangaroos, even dinosaurs (and I might have left a couple out too!) |

| Once we had our materials in position, we used the hot glue guns to stick them in place. |
