2022 Online Learning

Kia ora koutou Year 4-8s

If you're reading this then you're probably at home learning again! Remember ...

This time around things will be a bit different. Your learning will be provided by packs designed by the Ministry of Education. You can access these online.  

We will not be having daily zoom meetings. If you have any questions please email your teacher.

What a fabulous weekend of sunshine. ☀️ I hope you have spent some quality, happy time with your dads for Fathers Day.

Remember to check your emails at 9 am to get the link for tomorrow's zoom hui with your teacher.

Here are the answers to last week's quiz- Where in the World? How well did you do?

A 'Happy Habits' Self-Care challenge for you to work on this week from the well-being team in our Kahui Ako. See if you can complete the challenge every day.

What a beautiful day to end the week!

Well, this is your first Friday Lockdown post. I hope you've all had a good week and have managed to get outside for some spring fresh air. If not, today looks like the perfect day for it!

Your teacher is running Zooms today. Check your email.

REMEMBER it's fathers day on Sunday. If you haven't got any plans then you could give this choice board to your dad in the morning and he can select treats throughout the day! Click on the picture for the link.

*A challenge for those who are up for it. 

How many triangles can you see in the picture below? Write your answers in the 'comment' section below the picture.

Have a great day and weekend and we'll touch base at your Zoom and then on Monday.

Kia ora tātou

  I hope you all enjoyed your first day of spring yesterday. I went for a fish in the evening but the wind definitely wasn't spring-like. It felt more like the middle of winter!

Sadly no fish😞

As of today, Koropepe 1, if you have any questions please email me as Ms Schulte is pretty busy at school. 

I'll leave you with a meme and few thoughts.

 Ata mārie tamariki!

It's spring!

What does spring mean to you?

Today is our first day in Level 3 and that means a few of you will be at school today.

Wherever you are you will all be doing the same online work and you can still join your teacher zoom meetings.

Please see the revised timetable as some of the Zoom meeting times have changed.

Pikorua 1 and Koropepe 1 @ 10:00am

Pikorua 2 and Koropepe 2 @ 10:30 am

AND REMEMBER

TRY AND GET IN CONTACT WITH A FRIEND TODAY AND HAVE A CATCH-UP.

Morena Tamariki!

Kia ora tamariki, We hope you are all happy and busy in your bubble.

Here are a couple of reminders:

This is a great opportunity to develop your coding skills.

If you are looking for a good activity you can complete at home, we are going to be running the EPro8 Challenge - Lockdown Edition starting on Monday.  And it comes with the chance of winning one of our brand new EPro8 Electronics Starter Kits.

This challenge won't be using the EPro8 Equipment that we normally use, but instead, the challenge will be completed using a ream of paper and a roll of sellotape.

The teams will be family teams all from the same household.  Parents and siblings can all be part of the team.

FREE ENTRY.  
Entry is free, and it is open to any of your students.

The Head students and the Kapa Haka leader have got together to come up with some lockdown challenges to spice up everyone’s lockdown. Each day we will send out an email for what challenge it will be. You have until 3:00 pm each day to submit your video or photo. The first challenge is going to be the craziest trick shot you can do (it will be judged Thursday the 26th of August). It can be with a ball or even a slice of cheese, you pick. In order to enter, you can take a video or photo of you doing the trick shot then send it to 2021rangatira@taitapu.school.nz and the Heads and the Kapa Haka leader will judge it. The final score will be posted on our  School Facebook page. If you come first you win not only the bragging rights but also 200 house points for your house team, second place will win 100 house points and third will win 50. So make sure to mention your house in the video, photo or in the email you send when you submit your entry. Have fun and good luck!

Kind regards,
