Jessie's Bubble

 While we have been in lockdown Jessie has been busy too. Here are a couple of videos of Ally. In one she is preparing breakfast and in the other she is doing mahi toi. What have you been having for breakfast? 

Term 3 Week 6 2021

Rāhina te 30 o Here-turi-kōkā

Kia ora koutou,  kei te pēhea koutou? I hope everyone is doing well at home. Please keep sending your work and photos so I can post it under the Lockdown 2.0 tab at the top of the page.

Here is this weeks slideshow with different activities. 

Tuhituhi Tasks

Check out the different writing activities in the slideshow. 

There is a copy of it in your Google Drive.

Fizzy Fun

WATCH. Vinegar + Baking Soda + Balloons = FIZZY Fun

TALK. What happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar? Why? What is a chemical reaction? What is it that filled up the balloon? How did it happen? What would happen if you changed the amounts of vinegar and baking soda?

DO. Complete your own vinegar + baking soda experiment. 

Remember, the video we watched was a demonstration but we want to create our own scientific experiment so we need to change some of the variables (the parts of the experiment we can control and change).

You need to come up with your hypothesis - what you think will happen when you make certain changes (I predict that adding ... will make the balloon ...).

Complete your experiment and record your results. Was your hypothesis correct?

Kinetic Sand

I saw this video about making kinetic sand and it looks fun. Maybe you have the ingredients to make your own too.

 

Fun Crazy Weird Hair Store

LISTEN: To the Story Pirates podcast that includes the Fun Crazy Weird Hair Store song written by 9 year old Sylvia (you can hear an interview with her after the song).

TALK: Ask some questions when you go home: 

• Do the grown ups in your home have any photos of them when they were younger? 

• What do you think of the haircuts in these photos? 

• Are any of them terrible?

DO: Pretend you are getting your haircut and choose one of each of the following: 

Colour: blue, teal, red, orange, green, rainbow, rose gold, copper, glitter, platinum blonde, ultraviolet, infrared, grey, lavender, mermaid, silver etc

Length: buzz cut, bob, chin length, as long as a football field, one millimeter, foot length, giraffe neck length, as long as a lion's mane

Style: mullet, bouffant, flat top, braid, French twist, bowl cut, crown braid, spiky, mohawk, double buns, finger waves, mop top, ringlets, slicked back, updo, bouncy curl

Now draw a picture of you with your new crazy, weird, hair store hairdo.

If you get a new hairstyle in lockdown please send me a photo.

Acknowledging that these hair style options were taken directly from the Story Pirates activity page. Thank you to School Kit.

Mahi Toi

Kia ora koutou, 

I am a big fan of art and the environment so I thought some art would be a great activity for today. Have a look at the slideshow to get ideas. 

Happy creating!

Rātū te 24 o Here - turi - kōkā

Kia ora koutou, 

So we are in lockdown for a bit longer. Some of you have sent me photos, videos, slideshows and even started on your play writing. Ka pai. I'm enjoying seeing what you are doing in your bubble.

I'm wondering who has managed to get the most items on the outside scavenger hunt. If you haven't done it yet. Maybe today is a good time to do it.

The slideshow has lots of options for learning for this week. Check it out.

Watch the video for today's task.

Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

Have fun finding all of the things on the scavenger hunt. 

Take some photos to prove you found them. 

Send me the number of things you found. 

I wonder who will find the most.

The Inter-Yeti - Lost on a Wild Webventure

Read the Inter-Yeti story to yourself or listen to Stan Walker read it to you. It is all about staying safe online which is very important.

What are you doing in lockdown?

 

Lockdown 2.0

Kia ora koutou, 

I hope you are all well at home in your bubble.

I am with my family and my fur babies are very happy that everyone is at home. The dogs love the extra attention.

White Tail Spider

As a class we all read the non-fiction book the White Tailed Spider to learn how to use evidence to support our ideas about what we think. We were given cards that had different features on them to identify spiders. We had to sort the cards into two piles, those that could be a white-tail spider and those that couldn't be.

Whaea Kat asked us " What evidence do you have that makes you think that it is or isn't a white- tailed spider?"

We used the information in the books to support our ideas.
