Akomanga 4

 Highlights in Pictures From Terms 1 & 2 in Akomanga 4 Inside these slideshows are a glimpse into our Akomanga. There is a lot of learning going on in our Akomanga and I'm proud of each and every one of the students in my class.  They all contribute to the kind, respectful environment of our learning space and they are always engaged and motivated in their learning.  This is why they are ROCKSTARS!

We will be using this platform of communication more regularly as we navigate digital learning in Akomanga 4 and our tamariki start adding to their very own blogs.  You will also find learning and information on our class website which can be accessed through the Kereru Park School website. Don't forget to check out the school face book page as well as the school website for up to date information that you and your Whānau may need to know.      

  Kia ora, Today was the start of a fantastic learning journey that Akomanga 4 will be participating in this year. Some exciting news!!  We are going to be learning to become a digital class!  The students are going to learn, create & share their work.   Alongside the students the kaiako (Myself.. Whaea Tracy) will be learning also, so we are going to learn together (ako) and we are going to have heaps of fun and create some awesome mahi along the way, I can't wait! I am looking forward to using student voice to create our expectations around digital learning in the classroom and implementing digital devices into our everyday learning. So watch this space and you will see some creative learning being shared to our blog. LEARN  CREATE  SHARE

Kia ora Whānau! Arohamai, I have been meaning to update this blog for quite some time, I have been saving many photos to share with you all as we navigate our learning in our akomanga. This has been a very trying year for many of us, especially our tamariki and we have all worked hard together to make our tamariki feel safe and give them the tools needed to keep themselves safe and happy. These are some pictures from after our first lockdown at the beginning of the year  2020 as we all settled back into being the rockstar class that we are. Exploring in the ngahere.  We have been learning about Tane Mahuta. Discovering the different textures and colours of the bark on the trees in the ngahere.
