Shout Out Time| Room 5 learners rock!!

This is a shout out post for my class- Room 5. I am so so so proud of you all and the way you have embraced online learning. This lockdown came upon us all of a sudden and you guys just jumped into lockdown learning from your homes just like that. It is certainly not easy but you all make it look like butter on toast. 

For the last 3 weeks Room 5 students have been learning from home and are working creatively and most are working with their classmates using Google docs. It is just incredible. 

Room 5 have been involved in a lot of awesome learning experiences/tasks since lockdown started on 18th August 2021. Last week Room 5 researched on a topic and wrote speeches. This week they are interviewing a staff member from GTS (Glen Taylor School, our school) and creating fact files on them. Here is the interviews schedule. 





Here are links to hear and read some amazing speeches. If you wish to read or hear some more speeches please visit our individual blogs.

Posts from Soana and Uheina from their work on Tongan Language week. Mrs Tupou Fonua in our school shared some slides with us with tasks about Tonga and Tongan language. We are really enjoying working from them, especially all the Tongans in our class. 


Hope you enjoyed looking at all these amazing pieces of learning from Room 5.
