Wind Turbines

The Grasshoppers were learning about Wind Power.

Using Explain Everything they had to draw and label what a wind turbine looks like.

Take a look at a few examples:

Museum Trip

On Wednesday we went to the Christchurch Museum. We saw lots of interesting things and learnt about the early settlers and what they ate when they first came to Aotearoa. We love going on school trips!

iPads and our Literacy Learning

Today the Grasshoppers had to use Explain Everything to answer a range of questions. We used our fingers to write what we wanted to say.

We were lucky enough to be able to work where we wanted.

Singing with Matai

Each Monday afternoon we sing with Matai. It's lots of fun and we get to pick our favourite songs. 

Olympic Games

Kia Ora

Today we brainstormed the different sports that are at the Olympics.

We then used google images and padlet to share our ideas.
Take a look below.
Have a look below and add in any that we may have missed.

Hi, Kia Ora and Welcome to the Kowhai Learning Log.

We are a group of 6, 7 and 8 year old learners at Sockburn School in Christchurch.

We like playing games to help our learning.
We have fun learning.
We love doing Action Stations because they are fun and they help us to become Sockburn Learners.

We show CARES in our learning and when we are at school.

We are looking forward to getting to know you all.

Writing Lists!

Today for writing we shared what makes us laugh. 

Instead of writing a story we wrote lists. This was a new skill for us but we had fun doing it. 

Collaborative Writing

The Today for writing the Orange writers had to write with a buddy. We got to write one word then had to swap over. Some of us found I easy and some found it hard. 

Our learning!

In Kowhai we do Action Stations. This runs from the start of the day till lunch.

We have to be self managed during this time and choose an activity that we want to do. 

Here are some photos from this morning! It's great to see such a bunch of active interested learners.

Hi Kowhai

We are having lots of fun looking at different schools here in Auckland. 

Can you find out how high the sky tower is in Auckland?
