Term 1 - Week 8

Hi team, Kia Kaha, (stay strong) and I hope you are all well.  A strange time for us all at the moment, my family and I are thinking of you all and hoping you are still sharing smiles, laughter and kindness with each other.  Fleur and I will be using this blog as our teaching platform....kind of a one stop shop really, the students have been using it daily in class so it seems best to keep using what we know.  It will be up to you how often you do any tasks and when, I know you have many other things to deal with at the moment.  Studyladder has a quick link on this blog which is an easy way in as the students only need to know their password (as opposed to the username and password if you go in via the studyladder homepage).

Students, this is a great opportunity for you to show our GROW values at home.  You have been so great in school at doing all the little jobs like watering the plants, putting the computers away, tidying our library area and quiet space, now you can do this at home...keep your room tidy, help with washing (clothes and dishes), look after your pets, do jobs before waiting to be asked, try learning to do new jobs you haven't done before...I know you can do it!

Many thanks,

Dave.




First Assignment:


Green time vs Screen time
Keep a tally chart and put  a mark beside green or screen for each hour you spend on either.

Green time is one hour spent outside in nature, during this lockdown you will have to use your imagination and think of activities around the house, in your garden maybe.
Screen time is an hour spent on the computer, watching TV or movies.

Some ‘Green Time’ ideas:

Make a stacked rock tower as high as you can 
Make a colour chart out of leaves on the ground, from darkest to lightest 
Climb a tree 
Balance on a fallen tree 
Run around in the rain and splash in puddles 
Hunt for bugs

Go on a sensory scavenger hunt (find something that fits inside something else, something furry, 
A sweet smell,  something with a flaky surface, something mutli-coloured, 
something rotten, 
something smooth).
