What we love about Stonefields!

Today some more of the learners got to know ClickerDocs.  First we brainstormed words that we might use and then the learners collaborated to write stories about Stonefields.

We were inclusive and respectful when we worked together.  We helped each other with spelling and finger spacing and shared ideas.  Some of us were leaders and some of us were learners.


 


Can you see the words we wrote together in our word bank on the picture above?




"It was fun using it because we got to make sentences" - Rhys

"It was fun because we getted to write about beehive colours" - Georgia F.

"We used it like independent learners" - Dylan

"It was fantastic because we typed about Stonefields colours.  When we didn't know a word, we used the words that we loaded up on the screen" - Tanuki

"It was a bit tricky to spell school.  I saw it was on my t-shirt" - Maia

Shape building by Georgia F



I made this with Tanuki and Hailey at reading. We collaborated together and it was fun.

What do we already know about change?

This is a video that was filmed during the first week back at school. Please click on the link that says 'watch on vimeo'. What do you know about change?

Harold!

We have been so enthused by Harold and what he has taught us, that we shared what we learnt during discovery.  
Some of us even made Harold!

Hub 1 learning about how to get ready in the morning



Some of our learners thought it might be useful, to make a movie for new learners to Stonefields School, about how to get ready in the morning before school.

Cultural Day in LH1

We've had such a great time today in Learning Hub One - it's been Cultural Day!

Here we are in the morning.  We were really proud of ourselves as every single learner was able to talk on the microphone to say where they come from!



We paraded through the school showing off our cultural dress and recorded what we thought of our clothes...



Would you believe that Kyan (who was dressed as a New Zealand farmer) even arranged for some lambs to come and visit us?!  Here we are with Lily and Simba.  We asked lots of really good questions at the end of their visit.  Thank you Kyan and your Mum for organising this amazing surprise!





We sketched picture of each other in our cultural dress and had to pay close attention to the details.


Then in the afternoon, some of our big buddies from Learning Hub Three came to perform some of their Kapa Haka waiatas and hakas.  We were very lucky to get a private performance!




We had a fun day today celebrating all of our different cultures!!

Learners and parents, please share your comments and thoughts either in this box below or by leaving a comment...

Learning from others



Georgia - We were putting the pieces together and drawing the alphabet. Emily was helping me do stuff. She helped me do the alphabet in lower case.

Emily - We were getting the puzzles and doing the opposites. I like teaching the younger children.
