This is the last learning I will post on the blog for 2021.
Thank you for being such an amazing class. Throughout all the challenges this year has brought you have remained thoughtful, calm and creative. We have all learnt so much.
All the best for next year. Heads up, deep breaths and remember "You've got this!"
Our recent school closure was not the end of the year we would have wished for but I am glad many of us got to spend the last few weeks reconnecting and settling back into school routines.
We will be having a Google Meet today at 11.00am to say our farewells. I will send you the link just before 11.00am.
Check below for some fun learning ideas you can try.
Take a look at the amazing art students have created since returning to school. Our classroom is looking more beautiful by the day!
There will be a Google Meet for all of Room 7 on Wednesday at 11.00 - 11.30am. I will email a link to students both at school and those learning from home and we will share some online learning time together.
There will also be two further Google Meets for those students learning from home. They will be on Monday and Thursday at 11am. These meets will be run by Jo Green and Phil Margetts. A link to these meets will also be sent to students' emails.
Morena Room 7, I am looking forward to seeing many of you back at school on Wednesday!
Please check out the information below.
Remember if you have any questions about your learning please email me and I will try my best to help.
We are going to look at narrative writing today during our meet.
You are going to write a fantasy narrative (that means it is not a true story).
Your protagonist (hero) is your chosen Bird (or Bat) of the Year.
The setting is your chosen bird’s (or bat’s) natural environment.
Apart from that, your story can be about anything!
Check out the resources below to help you write your narrative.
We are continuing to think about our native birds but now the focus is on how we can describe them in imaginative and original ways.
Welcome back after your long weekend. I hope you managed to get outside for some fun and sun. I went on a bike ride and found this beautiful mural that depicts some of our precious native birds. Can you tell where it is?
This week we are finding out more about our native birds (or bats). Take a look at the videos for more information. There are also some lovely images you may want to use in your fact files.
Check out these videos to help you label your bird diagram.
The envelope please....and the winner is...
Pekapeka-tou-roa, or Long Tailed Bat
Welcome to Week 3!
We are starting a new topic this week, investigating New Zealand native birds.
Take a look at the resources below and learn more about our precious taonga.
Today we are digging deeper into the media during our Google Meet. How can we tell whether it is fake media or not?

We are already at the middle of the week Room 7! Take a look at the resources below then come to today's meeting ready to discuss "What is Media?"
This year’s theme for Te vaiaho o te Gagana Tokelau – Tapui tau gagana ma tau aganuku, i te manaola ma te lautupuola which means Tokelau! Preserve your language and culture, to enhance spiritual and physical wellbeing.
Kia ora Room 7, I hope you had a lovely long weekend!
Today we will be looking at how to share information about ourselves on our blogs, in positive and interesting ways.
We will also revisit what kind of information is public and what is private, so we are clear about what can be shared online.
Fakaalofa lahi atu!
Today's learning is about by replying to blog comments.
As you know writing a quality comment on someone's blog can start an amazing conversation about the learning that is happening. Today we will be looking at the ways you can keep this conversation going!
Fakaalofa atu Room 7, remember that is hello in Niuean!
Today we are learning about making Quality Blog comments. This is a very useful skill and so it is worth taking the time to become an expert!
