Star of the Week - Term 2 Week 4

Hi Room 1,

Some of you may be wondering who the Star of the Week was for last week (Term 2, Week 4). Firstly, I would just like to say I'm very pleased with the quality of work you are all doing at home lately. I can see a real improvement in the effort people are putting in, and consistency with those who have already been putting their best effort in. You should all be proud of the work you have managed to complete on your own at home. I know it has been a very strange time. So, thank you all for being such great online learners!

The Star of The Week for Term 2, Week 4 is Fariah Abrar! Fariah has been demonstrating our school values of Excellence and Respect throughout her online learning. She has shown respect in her email correspondence with her teacher (using good manners) and strived for excellence in her work,  seeking feedback and making changes to her work based on this. Fariah has been consistent with completing her Must Do tasks throughout the term. Well done Fariah!

Could you be the star of this week? Keep up the great work, comment on other's blog posts and demonstrate our school and class values. I will be keeping an eye out for students who are doing these things!

Maths - Area of Composite Shapes

Check out this fantastic Maths work done by our very own, Dorothy Chang! She has created a composite shape, then clearly shown how she has divided the shape into triangles and rectangles in order to calculate the total area of the shape. Great work, Dorothy! You are a star.

Star of the Week - Term 2, Week 3

Hello Room 1,

I would like to announce that the Star of the Week for Term 2, Week 3 is.........


Dorothy Chang! Dorothy has worked hard to complete all of her Must Do tasks this week for Writing, Reading, Inquiry and Maths. She has been sharing her work with me regularly. I believe Dorothy has demonstrated the following values:

"Challenge ourselves" - from our class treaty

"Integrity"and "Personal Excellence" - from our school values.

When we show integrity, we show honesty. Dorothy has kept herself motivated and showed integrity in her work by completing the tasks regularly. She has taken responsibility for her own learning. Ka pai, well done Dorothy! Please make sure you post your work to your personal blog, so we can all see what great learning you have been doing at home.

Thanks,
Miss Hudson

Friday Fun Challenge - Friday 1st May 2020

Today's Challenge: Auckland's Big Rail Project (Art!)

You are to create a 10cm by 10cm tile design for Auckland City Rail Link! Your task is to create a picture of where you would like to go by train, once the underground railway is built. Your journey could be anywhere - taking the train down the road from your home to the local dairy, or heading off into outer space, or anywhere you like in between. Your tile design will be fired onto ceramic tiles and used to decorate Auckland's new City Rail Link Aotea underground station. How cool is that?! You will be contributing to New Zealand's BIGGEST art project!

Watch the video below to see the plan:

Please follow the guidelines below, when creating your tile design:

• You can use paints, crayons, pencils or pastels
• Your artwork needs to be square shaped as it will be printed onto 10cm x 10cm tiles to be built into the station. 
• Artwork can either be scanned or photographed and sent by email to art@cityraillink.govt.nz
• Artwork should also include the artist’s name, their age and school they go to
• If possible, City Rail Link Ltd would love to receive short videos of tamariki holding up their art and explaining what they have drawn so that it can be shared on CRL’s social media channels and website
• More information can be found at www.cityraillink.co.nz/resources-for-students-teachers-city-rail-link
