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!

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

Sharing Our Learning

Oscar has been using this time at home to learn guitar and Sienna has been busy reading online stories with her nana and answering maths questions from our very own PM!  What have you been learning?

Today's challenge was to find objects in the house from A-Z.  Here's what Pasindu and Maddie found.

Camp Preparation

Learning in Week 2 of Term 1 was mainly focused around preparing for camp.  This afternoon we met up with our camp group buddies, then broke away into two groups to put up one of the camp tents. This is an important job, because we needed to check that all the gear was in the tent bag and that there were no breakages.

We were first shown how to put up a tent, then we worked collaboratively to put up our own group's tent. It was really tricky bending the pole into the metal piece in each corner and some of the tents were so high that we were challenged to get the tent fly over the tent, once it was up.  Well, we thought these were the difficult parts, but getting the tent, poles and fly back into the tent bag proved to be the most difficult of all!

Will it fit back in the bag?

Happy campers!
