May the Fourth be with you!
Earlier this month Mrs Trembath surprised our class with a Star Wars themed day! We we learned how to use Hour of code and there is a great Star Wars coding activity to use (there's a LOT of Maths and Logical applications in Coding)! We also invented our own star wars characters and their unique features. We also watched the Google Cardboard Virtual Reality app of a space shuttle taking off into the atmosphere and then trying to land the shuttle pod back in the sea.

The biggest challenge was the Growth Mindset Challenge of having to work your way over 'laser trips' strung across the classroom and tables!

Chapter Chat Term 2
If you have
good thoughts
they will shine
out of your face
like sunbeams
and you will always
look lovely.
A Quotation from Matilda
by Roald Dahl
Hello Terrific 20's whanau
I would like you to take a look at your child's Reading Folder on their School Drive and ask them to share all the tasks they have been working hard on this term. The file to look for is called W1-4 Matilda. It is a slide deck of a variety of activities from Goals for the term to Learning activities to Self assessment. This is one of the reasons why we have been too busy to blog! We haven't finished - we have only just begun!

Our Visit to Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple in Flat Bush
Looking at the architecture and plantings. We stood gently on the grass borders to show how even if you have an unhappy day or someone speaks to you unkindly you can bounce back through positivity. |
Peaceful and quiet place of reflection and meditation. |
A paper lotus flower. |
