Eli's home learning from Whakarua 1

Take a look at Eli's home learning from today, he has worked super duper hard!




















Whakarua 3 Home Learning - Monday 20th April

What a great start to Week 2 of home learning. It has been interesting to see what you all came up with for our new writing task this week, and I am excited to see what Science brings tomorrow!
Below is some of Whakarua 3's fabulous work from today ☺

In the Spiderman costume we have Alistair! Check out the effort he put into making his analogue clock and his paper planes! He has also included his handwriting - written in different colours, and his maths and alphabet brainstorm activities. Awesome work, Alistair!

Today Olly has created some cool paper planes for his reading task. He made them to look like the planes from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Olly listened carefully to the Sesame Street video for our writing activity, and has completed his alphabet brainstorm on a Google Doc. Ka rawe, Olly!

Here's Bailey's work from today. She has completed her maths, reading and writing work to a high standard. A highlight was Bailey's handwriting - check out the rainbow handwriting she did today, and the painted letters that she did last week. Fantastic effort, Bailey!


Until tomorrow!

Day 2 Home Learning from Whakarua 3

Day 2's shared learning is from Josh, Kate and Liam (see pictures below). These three made sure that their adverts were colourful and eye-catching, and they also used persuasive phrases to convince people to buy Juicy-O. Well done to everyone who has been trying hard to complete some tasks at home. We are all so proud of you!
