Treasure our Cultures!

 This week we are looking at how we can consider our cultures as a treasure. We have a mix of cultures in our team, so we thought we would mix it up a bit.

Monday we focused on Māori culture. It was an awesome day of tasks and fun things for our children to learn. They were able to research different aspects of the culture, from food, performing arts, clothes and language. Check out what Prodeus and Kasaline have completed.

On Tuesday, we took a look into different Pasifika cultures. This includes Tonga, Samoa, Cook Island and Niue, which have big numbers in our school and community. We were able to see different Myths and Legends (and see some similarities there), food, dance, and even how they navigated their way to their Islands. Check out what Ciannah and Kasaline have completed.

We can't wait to find out what other cultures we will be exploring as the week goes on. We are working hard online and making an effort to come to our scheduled Google Meets. Yay for Remote Learning!

Treasure our environment!

 This week we looked at what else can be considered treasures. Treasures don't have to be things that we have in our homes, or people that we love. They can also be our environment.

We looked at the air, water, and trees and plants as being a treasure. We believe that these can be treasures because they are important in our lives. We need to have healthy air to survive, our water needs to be clean, and our trees and plants help us to breathe.

We need to make sure that we treasure these things so that our environment can continue looking beautiful, and we can continue doing the things we enjoy i.e. swimming, going for walks.

Check out some of the work that some of Room 6 have done! Also feel free to visit their individual blogs to leave positive comments.

We're back in Lockdown!

 We're back in Lockdown, which means we need to make sure that we do our best with what we have. We have Remote Learning. This means we are learning from home using our Class Sites to learn. Google Meets have been set up three times a day with our teachers - Miss Tuiā, Mrs Lagitupu and Mr Hughes.

This week we are learning about treasures. With our theme being 'Tiaki Taonga - Cherish our Treasures", the teachers wanted to dive deeper to learn about what a treasure is. Treasures can mean different things to different people. Whether it is gold, money or diamonds, others may have people, photos or jewellery as theirs. Check out some of our work from Room 6 students.

Feel free to comment positive comments. We hope you are having a great Lockdown!

Introducing Room 6 for 2021

This is Room 6 at Point England School for 2021!

We are so excited for what this year has planned for us. Some of us are new to the school, new to Team 4, and the rest of us new to the 678 area. 

Our theme this year is 'Tiaki Taonga - Cherish our Treasures'. We will be learning about what different treasures we possess as individuals, as a class, as a school, and as a nation. We will also be looking at the best ways to cherish them, and understand why they are a taonga. There are so many things that we can look at for 'Tiaki Taonga', and we can't wait!

Some of the things we are looking forward to this year is Year 5 and 6 Camp, Swimming, Manaiakalani Film Festival, PES Sports, Year 6 Camp, and many more events.

Make sure to check out our class blog, as well as our individual blogs that you will find along the side. Feel free to leave positive comments.

I Am

 2020 Manaiakalani Film Festival 

Room 678 presents our 2020 film festival movie I Am! Trying to find a word to best describe who you are can be really difficult and we often don't think about what we are we focus on what we are not. This year we decided to focus on who we are as learners, family and kids. Our movie hopes to show that you are you and you should be proud of who you are! We really hope you enjoy our movie and remember I Am Me!

Letter Writing

Our theme for this week was ANZAC Day. With ANZAC being a part of New Zealand's history, we thought it was important to further our knowledge of some of the events.

We talked about how the ANZAC soldiers kept in contact with their friends and family back at home. We discussed how they would be feeling being away from them for so long. Because of Covid-19, we haven't been able to see some of our own friends and family. Our tasks was to write a letter to someone that we missed.

Check out some of the letters that we wrote!

Kahoot via. Google Meets

Today our class did a fun afternoon activity. We played Kahoot with our teacher via Google Meets.

The quiz was all about the Earth and even though some questions were hard, we had fun doing it online with our peers.

Congratulations to those who made it onto the podium - Paula (3rd place), Exodus (2nd place) and Cora (1st place).

Hopefully we can play it again!
