Week 2 Lock down
Kia ora and welcome to week 2 of the Covid19 lockdown. This week I will be continuing with the lego challenges. I hope everyone is well and managing to come up with fun and creative things to do.
Don't forget to check out a few of the web sites I have uploaded. Next week Andrea and I will be uploading our learning slides for whānau and tamariki to access. Whaea Andrea and Whaea Lisa will have separate literacy slides for your child to access, your child's name will be visible in order to navigate the correct group.
Until then whānau please continue to send photos of the latest lego creations being made. Have a safe week, stay warm and keep smiling!

30 Day Lego Challenge
Each day I will be putting up a 30 day Lego Challenge. If you can take part ka pai to mahi! and if not kei te pai, it is ok. You do not have to use Lego, you can use building blocks, paper, cardboard just GO FOR IT.
Please do not stress about meeting these challenges, it is simply here for entertainment while giving tamariki the opportunity to remain connected as possible with their teachers.
I know whānau are capable and extremely resourceful when it comes to organising activities for their children.
Keep safe, take care and I look forward to interacting with you all via our classroom blog.
REMEMBER - Send me a photo of your latest challenge.
