How do you know that the giant loved ice cream?

1: Why do you think the giant thought that ice cream made him tough?

3: Why do you think the giant didn’t want to give any icecream to the cat?

4: How do you think the giant could get out of the doorway?

5: What do you think might happen next time the cat asks for ice cream?

joined in.

 

Sina has been very busy during the lock down.  Let's see what she has been up to.

Well done Sina!

For our Google Meeting today it was wonderful seeing all your smiling faces again

Elisara has really been busy during this Lock Down

With the lockdown being extending we need to be at home supporting our family.  Following the FB vaules is a good way to support our families at home during this stressful time.  Filemu has been displaying these values at home.

Thank you Filemu for sharing with us

Thank you Sarah for sharing her letter that she wrote to her friend Sina also in Room 15.  Sarah has attempted and completed one of the activities from the FBS Distance Learning Activities.  Well done Sarah.  

She has practising The FBS value Atawhai - We Value others.  

Room 15, I hope that you are all well with your families at home.  During this lockdown time it is important that we do our part to try to contain the Covid virus by staying at home and not bursting our bubble.  We have all been in this situation before and we all know what is expected of us.  

Remember to keep checking your emails because I will be sending you emails to communicate with you.  It would also be great if you could  email me back to let me know how you are doing or if there is something that you would like to share with me.  My email address is pratimah@flatbush.school.nz

Even if we are not together in FBS, lets continue our learning at home.  There have been activities set up on our FBS Distance Learning Page – Click HERE to open.

When you have completed a task you can share it with me.  

Remember you can also work on EP, Study Ladder and you have your Duffy books that you can read.  

I have registered all of you in Room 15 onto Prodigy and an email has been sent to your  school email with your login user name and password.  Give that also a go!

Keep safe and look after each other.

Week 3 we had the New Zealand Maritime Museum come to FBS to teach us about the voyages our ancestors made to come to New Zealand.  

We assembled a waka and moved it on the mat according to the different cardinal points of the compass.  

Term 3 we are doing swimming

Remind your child on Thursdays to bring their togs, clean underwear and a towel in a plastic bag to school.

Week 2 of Term 3 was Cook Island Language week

To get the week started we had The Manurewa Cook Island Dance Group performing at FBS 

On Wednesday it was Room 15s turn to go to the school hall for the Cook Island Art Activities

Room 15 had an absolute ball!!

Welcome Back to Term 3

It was a really exciting week in FBS this week

On Thursday we had our Celebration for Success.  I had the opportunity of meeting many of our Whanau and here are some of the pics from the evening .

Welcome to Room 15's web Page

Auckland is moving to Level 2 from Sunday, 7 March. School will re-open on Monday,  8 March.  The school gates will be open at 8: 15 to 9:00 and there will be contact tracing at the  gates.  Please wear a face mask when at school.

Jonathan did his last challenge for the lockdown and sent me a photo. He also sent me a pic of him working with his sister.

Theresa has been very busy during the lockdown.  Lets see what she was up to.

Kura FINALLY  sent me the challenges that he did during the lockdown.  Here is what I received.

After our scarey interruption this morning Elisara still completed the challenge for today.

Let's see his effort.

Elisara you have been very busy today.

Well Done Elisara!

Scarey!!

It was a very eventful meeting this morning.  While we were in the meeting, our phones went off with an Emergency Alert for an evacuation to higher ground if you are close to the coast line.  

I don't think that any of us were near the coast line so I think that we were all safe.  Let's pray that all those that are effected will be safe.  

A quick photo of all those that were in our meeting this morning when we were interrupted by the Emergency Alert before we logged off.

Stay Safe my Beautiful People 

After our Google Meeting today Rm 15 students got busy.  Let's see what they were up to.

Elisara did the Wednesday alphabet challenge.    He found 26 items around his home to match the beginning letter of each alphabet.    

Fantasic job Elisara 

 Can you match each picture to the corresponding letter of the  alphabet?

Elisara then completed the Tuesday challenge and showed us the people in his bubble.

Elisa drew all the members in his bubble.  He used lots of colour and labelled everyone. 

Jonathan was even busy today.  He did today's challenge.

Jonathan did his appreciation card to his mum.  She really deserves it because she has been supporting Jonathan with his learning all the way through this lockdown.

Well done Mum and thank you for all your help!! 

Sarah did her letter of appreciation to her mum.  Her mum did a beautiful flower arrangement for the hallway. 

 Great effort Sarah and fantastic job mum!

Elisara also sent in his appreciation letter

Thank you Room 15 people for your fantastic effort in doing the daily challenges.

Keep it up!! 

Also, to the amazing whanau behind our beautiful students 

Thank you!!

Today we had a great meeting on Google.  Sombody new joined us again.  It was Theresa 

We all know how to change our backgrounds and have become very good at doing it. Our backgrounds changed a 100 times a minute.  Kura even changed his background to a picture from the class web page.  

Today when we met, we share information about a book we read on Storyline Online yesterday.  It was a task to do from yesterday's meeting.  We also practised skip counting in 5's and then we were using the chat option to chat to each other on Google Meet.  It was fun chatting to each other without talking.

Activity 3 for Wednesday saw Jonathan scanning his home looking for things that he can take a picture of to do the alphabet challenge.  

Well done Jonathan !!  

you are a super star   

Lets see if you can match the labels to the items in the picture

Great News!!

 Fantastic effort girls!!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Room 15 people in our Google meetings everyday at 11:00 during the lockdown.

Jonathan was already hard at work drawing his bubble.  Look at his effort.

Jonathan has done a great job labelling his picture so that we know who is who and he even wrote alittle about everyone.
