You Rock!

Today, during our group session the students listened to a passage about the rocks. We all shared our rock collections and discussed different types of rocks and its characteristics.  We had to work out what would be the full price of a large crystal if it was purchased for $70 after 50% discount.  Ariyah showed us her family's pounamu/green stone, Tevita ground some rock salt, Aisha and Shaan showed us some rocks from the Crystal Mountain, some children found some rocks outside. There was a lot of excitement about the rocks and our mini lesson on changing our names on ZOOM. Our session lasted for 90 minutes instead of 60! It was great to learn something new and have a giggle at the same time.  You guys ROCK!!!









 

Learning At Home


Yesterday, we have read a passage about the mighty potato during our ZOOM meeting. We've learned how potatoes grow and how to turn a few potatoes into a delicious dish. For those of you that have missed out on the ZOOM session, here is the text and the recipe. It would be marvellous if you could make it and share the pictures via email. Some of the students have already started emailing their work. Keep it coming!
