Room 2's boggle work - Both from school and from home!

 Kia ora my wonderful readers! With the return to school, I have to admit that I haven't been really good at updating our class blog regularly... I will make my mea culpa this week (it means that I am admitting having done something wrong. It's like saying "I did it. I am guilty!" Oops...)  and will post more updates than I usually would. Stay tuned!

Most of Room 2 has come back to school recently, and it has been oh so lovely to go back to face-to-face teaching! Even with the new rules in place to keep us safe, I have to say that heading back to the classroom has been super fun. 

We have been doing a lot of learning (staggered days are no excuse), and today Room 2 decided to share the fantastic work they have been doing with making words out of our scrambled boggle boards.

To make sure both the students studying at school and those studying from home had the opportunity to contribute and share their learning, we have been getting more and more familiar with using Jamboard. I then downloaded our finished product as an image, which I have added to this Google Slide document for everyone to enjoy looking at.

Check out our fantastic boggle work from the past few weeks:

Let me know what you think of the mahi that Room 2's students have been working on and sharing! Can you find some extra words yourself? We would love to know!

As always, I am sending lots of love and Aroha your way, and I absolutely cannot wait to hear back from you! 🧡🧡🧡

Room 2's passion for sharing - Term 4's padlet and portfolio!

Bonjour my fantastic readers! This week is a bit of a special one for me as it is my birthday: Miss Flo is turning 106 years old! Wow, that's a lot of years. I have the most amazing news for you all today though, and I hope that it will bring some more happiness into your day as well, seeing as how this lockdown has been going on for such a long time.

As we all know, I have a strong passion for making sure that our learning is visible, and I absolutely LOVE sharing my students' work. From now on, every time a student shares their work with me via email, I will make sure to also add it to this virtual portfolio, for us all to have a look at. Children will have the chance to say a few words to present their mahi, and they will be able to access their feedback without having to ask parents for access to their mailbox. I have also added a filter so that viewers can either browse through all of Room 2's mahi, or so that they can directly look for a specific student's work. But that's enough talking from me for now, why don't you check it out for yourself?

Look at this super cool portfolio display, where Room 2's students can share the create activities that they have done throughout their learning journey:

I also have one more thing that I wanted to share with you, my wonderful readers. This term, Room 2 students have been learning to add their work to our class padlet by themselves, they no longer need me to upload their work for them. I am so so so amazed by all the digital skills they have developed throughout the year, they are all experts now.  They are even leaving some lovely comments underneath their classmates' posts!

Let me know what you think of all the mahi that Room 2's students have been sharing! 

As always, I am sending lots of love and Aroha your way, and I absolutely cannot wait to hear back from you! 💙💙💙
