Flat Bush

Term 4 2021

November the 29th we will have our Week 7 Hard Copy Learning Packs ready for pick up from our Flat Bush Rd Gate between 10am to 1pm. As this is the final learning pack we will be giving out for 2021, we are doing something special.

Inside one of the Learning Packs for each year level will be a Golden Ticket, this ticket will give the lucky winner a FREE 2022 FBS School Uniform and for the Year 6 winner, a FREE 2022 Uniform from the Intermediate they go to. The value of this prize will be to a maximum of $150.00 per winner.

The Learning Packs are all in the same boxes, so whoever is the lucky winner will not know until they open and unpack their box.

For our FBS learners who have been learning onsite we will be doing a Golden Ticket draw for each year level as well.

This will be for all FBS learners who have been at school 3 or more days since we reopened. This will be done using an online random name generator https://wheelofnames.com/


Please bring back the booklets from Week 5 and our classroom teachers will mark our learners hard work.

Malo ni Room 21! - Hello Room 21! I hope you are all well. 

This week is Tokelauan Language week. Here are a few greetings in Tokelauan that you can practice with your family.

Ko na fuainumela - Numbers

Can you count to 10 in Tokelauan? The language sounds very similar to Samoan language, Try counting to 10 in Tokelauan. Watch the video below to help you say the numbers in Tokelauan. Then see if you can write the numbers and draw objects for each number in the box like this:

One of my favourite stories from Tokelau is called ‘The safe place’. Listen to the story. Where else do you think would be a good place for the hen to lay her eggs? Draw a picture and write a sentence where you think this safe place would be. Click on the red  button below to go to the link. 

The safe place  - click open link

Designing your own stamp. These are stamps that represent Tokelau. They are pictures of coconuts, fish, breadfruit and Taro. Can you design your own picture of your own stamp? Try to watch the video above from Tokelau and see if you can find something you think might be a good design for a Tokelauan stamp.

Here is a video of Tokelau. Watch the video and find out two things about Tokelau. Write them down and send them to your teacher.

Last task for the day. Breathing. Find somewhere quiet to sit and close your eyes. Imagine you are sitting on the beach in Tokelau. Take 5 deep breathes in and blow out slowly.  What can you hear? Imagine you can hear the waves splashing on the beach. Take another 5 deep breathes in and blow out slowly.

Today we had an assembly online to close the Niue Language Week. Here is a photo of some of the people who have joined us.

We also had our own Room 21 online Zoom lesson. We did some Maths problem-solving. Here is the first question.

1. Mrs Zhao has bought a bag of lollies to give to the prize winners. There are 24 lollies in the bag and 8 people who won a prize. How many lollies should Mrz Zhao give to each of them? Please make sure it is a fair share.

2. There are some chickens in the covered cage. We can only see their legs from the bottom gap of the cage. We counted 14 legs. How many chickens are in the cage?

We have used repeated addition and skip counting strategies to help us find the answers. Can you try to solve them at home, too? Is there another way to solve the questions?

Don't forget to send your answers and strategies to my email for a prize.
