Morning Meeting - 30.4.20

Instructional writing is used all the time in our daily lives.  It can appear easy, but it's surprising how quickly something can go wrong if information is missed out.  Wednesday's Daily Challenge was to write instructions for making a favourite sandwich, then test out the instructions by getting someone else to make it.  This was a great way to check if  all the necessary information had been included - not just the ingredients, but also what utensils to use and where to put the ingredients.

There were some delicious sandwiches made yesterday - which means that the instructions must have been written correctly!

I wonder if the result might have been different had the instructions been used to programme a computer 😏

Morena!  Welcome to Week 3.  I tried recording this video on another computer... and it didn't go too well. There's a bit of lagging - but I'm sure you will manage to understand my message.  Looking forward to catching up with you all in our Google Meet sessions.  See you soon!

Google Meet - 'How to' Video

Hi One Odd Bunch

Further to my earlier post, here's a video (excuse the quality), with more information on how to join and be part of a Google Meet.  Please make sure that you watch this video today and know where the Google Meet icon is on your 'waffle'.

Google Meetings

Hi One Odd Bunch!

Starting from tomorrow morning, we will be using Google Meet to meet in groups to say "hi", share our lockdown experiences and talk about our learning.  I can't wait to catch up with you all.

Here's the 'low down' on how to join a Google Meet and what to do once you are there. I've also included the timetable for our 'meetings'.  Please get back to me asap, if you are unable to join me on the day and time that you've been scheduled.

Well, ANZAC day was quite a bit different this year. I was grateful that I didn't have to get up so early as I only needed to walk to the top of my driveway, rather than drive to an ANZAC service. Radio NZ had an ANZAC service broadcast, so I had this playing from my stereo - loud enough to hear it from the street. It was an eerie experience, looking up and down the road to see the flicker of candles from others who were joining in with me from a distance.

Here's some lovely ANZAC wreaths that were made for Friday's Daily Challenge:

Science Experiments - Germs, Water and Acid vs Alkaline

Some of the One Odd Bunch have been turning their kitchens into lab,s to conduct science experiments at home. Here's a sample of what's been going on.

Tuesday's Daily Challenge brought out the illustrator in many. Here's a selection of the best.

We have some amazing cooks in Room 1.  I can't wait to get back to school to use our hall kitchen for more science, maths and totally scrumptious learning!

Olivia hasn't been able to get to the beach for a surf during lockdown, but this hasn't stopped her from using her surfboard. Here, she is putting it to use as a whiteboard - genuine 'kiwi' ingenuity!

Maddie and her brother, Cooper, have created this presentation about essential workers.  Their aunty is a nurse and she was able to answer their inquiry questions.

Morning Meeting - Tuesday 21 April

Morning all!  Sorry, this is a little late.  I was watching Nathan Wallis on the eLearning TV2+ channel, and lost track of time.  Also just realised that I didn't change the date on today's video (whoops).  Anyway... have a good one and please email me with any questions or sharing of learning.

Once again, I am blown away with the learning that is taking place at home. Here is a snapshot of what was shared with me yesterday.

Lockdown Memes - Daily Challenge: 20.4.20

It looks like this challenge was extremely popular.  Memes are such a fun way to share our thinking :)

Papatuanuku is Breathing

This afternoon, a friend sent me a link to this video and I just had to share it with you. Like you, I can't wait for the day when I can once again explore all the natural treasures that Auckland has to offer us. But until then, Papatuanuku is breathing.

Today's Challenge - Make a Lockdown Meme

Yes, that's right... get your creative hat on and create your very own  meme!  Your challenge is to make a meme about the lockdown, or your bubble.
