Totara News - Term 2 Week 7

Kia ora koutou!


The Peace Game has begun! What an amazing opportunity for students to be working together, meeting new people and attempting to solve some of the worlds current issues. Well done everyone, it has been wonderful to see you all bring your skills to the game and be challenged at the same time.

Well done everyone in your use of our new Google Apps system - one of the advantages of these tools is that both Kerry and Rob can ‘see’ what you are up to each week as you learn to use the various tools within it. Please remember to keep everything you wish to share with the class and us inside your individual folder - that way we can give each other feedback and help if needed. We encourage students to log in to show their families how this system works!

In English and Social Studies this week, we are going to look at where you are all at with your assignments and make sure everyone has the right amount of time and resources to enable them to complete the assignment in a meaningful way. We will do this on Tuesday morning first thing, straight after we have another look at the kids news site that we explored last week. Here is the link if you’d like to explore the site further:

This week we will introduce you to a tool called Mathletics, which will be used to supplement our maths programme and target the skills you each need to practice. 

Your asTTle maths assessments will be used to personalise the Mathletics activities you do, once you’ve had time to learn and play with the various tools within it of course!
