The first week of school ;(
On the first day of school I felt excited, I just wanted to see my friends, but most of them weren’t coming. When I realized I was going to be alone in class, I was nervous. Once I walked inside of the class, I realized many things, like Whaea Dana wasn’t there, but Mrs Norman was, and the chairs and tables were spread out, and Miss had a bunch of rules to go over.
The toilet was the weirdest one. I learnt some maths in quarantine, but in school, I learn’t how to colour inside of the lines. I enjoyed the slow movements. So like we aren’t going straight into learning YET.
I’m not in any photos but here is what we have been doing.
letter of thanks
Dear Jacinda Adern
Kia ora my name is Reece. I go to a college in a small, joyful, friendly town called otaki. I am writing to you to acknowledge how good of a leader you are for our country.
Firstly I would like to recognise how tough, stern and hard working you are. No matter what some people might think or say and disagree with your choices. I know you are just doing what is best for us all. You have worked really really hard and your work is paying off.
If it wasn’t for you we wouldn’t be at school, going for walks on the beach, or going for bike rides. I would have to stay inside and not be able to see my friends. You are always one step ahead, thinking about what will happen if you finalise your decisions and being responsible about them. My mum has a low immune system and if you didn’t act so fast she might have been really sick.
You are such a good leader because you are confident, positive and have a good sense of humour despite these rough times. You always lighten up the mood.
Once again thank you so much for all you have done you have done and have a great weekend.
Generation of the Gingerbread Man
In my class we learnt how to properly identify maths in the world around us using our maths eyes. My class and I got given a picture of some gingerbread men. My buddy and I had to use our maths eyes to identify the picture and see what we can find in the photo. 3 things I noticed were all of the gingerbread men had 2 buttons, they all had chocolate hair, 2 feet and last one some of them had stripes and some had no stripes.
I found using my maths eyes pretty useful and realized what it properly was. It was pretty easy to do and see everything.z Have you ever used your Maths eyes.
if I were small? – Mauatua
Would you rather be the oldest or the youngest sibling in a family of ten? I would rather be the oldest because I could probably get to move out faster.
Would you rather be able to see things that are very far away, like binoculars or able to see things very
close up like a microscope. I would rather be able to see things far away because I could see people from far away
would you rather be able to shrink down to the size of an ant any time you want or be able to grow to
the size of a two-story building anytime you wanted to?I would rather be able to shrink like an ant because I could crawl through key holes.
If I were this small it would never be the same, I wouldn’t know how to tell my parents! my dogs would probably eat me! but I would have to tell my parents so I would probably draw a huge text saying “its me! I have shrunk please help me” well hoping they didn’t get scared!
What if I shrunk
The first one is what I would see if I shrunk in the woods.
The second one would be how I would tell my mum that I shrunk and what I would say to her.
Would I rather be the oldest or the youngest in a family of ten.
I would rather be the youngest because then I would have heaps of other brothers and sisters and also I dont think it would be that bad to be the youngest.
Would I rather be able to see things far away or see things that are really close.
I would rather be able to see things that are really far because I think it will be cool to see things from far away
Would I rather be able to shrink down or be able to grow as tall a 2 story house
I would rather be able to shrink I dont want to be a giant.
Adverb at the front sentence style
Today we have been learning about adverb start sentence-style. The rule is to start with an adverb then have a comma straight after the adverb start. Here are some adverb start sentences.
Now, Jed will have to have a shower.
After, Jo went to Jakes house.
Quietly, Luna went to the fridge to get corn beef.
Carefully, Lucy dusted her bedroom.
Finally, my birthday rolled around the corner.
Away, She ran as fast as her legs could take her.
Quickly, The cat went to get some food and water.
After, I went to bed
Carefully, Luna opened her birthday presents
Lazily, The little girl flopped onto the bed after school.
DFI Day 3 Media

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Today was a reminder how important creativity is in a child’s learning and cognitive development. Some times as educators we are focused on a destination and forget the journey, especially if there is no quantitative measurement or result. I remember being a primary teacher and having whole days of Art or Science. There’s no reason why our secondary schools cannot adapt to our recent online distance learning experiences and morph into something different. Do students really need to 5 days a week onsite to learn or could they continue to learn from home?
-
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
I have only being using about 20% of the potential most of these platforms offer and the capacity of these media to be less annoying and more engaging just by following some basic presentation rules
-
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Today there were lots of explicit tasks. I could furnish them with a range of media tasks and provide some of the extensions that I discovered today to encourage them to use a range of media to create docs/slides/movies/drawings to demonstrate their learning and share to with others. I tried to make a cartoon version of a student but she was not impressed because she looks like a man and the ear colour is not right

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
I have learned to simplify things that I have been doing the ‘hard’ way. I have also not been checking settings on my emails, youtube and blogger but now I know why I do or do not receive information. Another great week with an awesome group of presenters and leaders!

How NZ is doing with Covid-19
New Zealand has probably been one of the best countries to have handled Covid-19. We’ve already passed our peak of the amount of cases and very soon we’ll all be back at our schools, jobs and catch-ups. Compared to countries such as the United States, our government is doing a great job. I think everyone is doing the best they can to social distance and stop the spreading of the Coronavirus. However, some people are disobeying the lockdown rules and are still socialising, meeting up and other similarities.
