Kia orana!
Our start to the term has been action packed with learning about the Olympics and the different countries, sports and athletes involved.
Willie says “I’ve been enjoying the 30-second news we’ve been writing about in class. This has helped my ability to speak more confidently because I have to share my news in front of my classmates”.
Renei is currently working on a Minecraft task related to our class novel, Refugee by Alan Gratz. “I’m enjoying the help we’ve been getting from classmates. I also feel a lot more comfortable helping them with their learning”. Take a look at Jairus' models of the MS St Louis and a concentration camp.
We're continuing the greatness of Cook Island Language week and will be creating our own comic book phrases like the one linked below. I think my message would have greater impact if I'd smiled.
I hope you've all had a safe and happy start to Term 3 - looking forward to who wins this week's Cybersmart Challenge!

ReplyDeleteMy class ended up having a couple of weeks to complete the country profile. Some students said they enjoyed learning something new about their chosen countries.
The 30-second news segment can students up to an hour if they focus on doing a great job of reading, analysing and presenting. My class are getting better and faster the more they do this.
The Cook Island Language week slide took us a week in total to collate, create and present. Have a look at our next post where the slide is linked!
I enjoyed learning the phrases and putting the slides together - hopefully I get a couple of my students in charge of doing this next time for a similar project. The hardest phrase was probably Solomon's as it is one of the longest - kare koe i te kanga.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
