Lockdown learning round ✌🏽 Last year taught us including student interest is key! This time passion projects are a task. One of our kids carried on our focus of ‘Kaitiaki o te Moana,’ linked it with his own passion and use recycled materials to make his own fishing lures #takp

Loved show casing my teams skills, strengths and passions through Maker and our space ❤️ @KellyJ_McEvoy @katie_tahana @rach2268 @KimHorne19

Loved having Kawerau South School come to play in our workshop today! @JustinRoss77 #hekakano21

Starting off #hekakano21 @takpschool with a beautiful welcome. What I am hoping to get out of today: connections; powerful learning and conversations. Excited to listen to Curtis Bristowe #hekakano21 #takpschool @CPatuawa @Matua_Heremia @IvilMikeely @oliviaburt03 @rdwilliams2

So proud of my kids in my class who came to school on a teachers only day to teach the teachers! #ddotakp20 @DoroCollier @jennie_sands

Love this visual representation of sorting and creating simple graphs! Really like the use of the black tray - think it is really effective! Anyone else use these trays? 😁👍🏻🟢🟣🟡🔴🔵

Loved PD with @meredith_bean this afternoon! Embracing change with everyone in the waka. #takpschool @KellyJ_McEvoy @DoroCollier @EmilieOkeefe @Matua_Heremia @JepsenBruce @alexwalkernz

Using the movie Inside Out to unpack feelings and their significance with our Year 3 has made for a successful transition back to school- this collaborative task had each child make a ‘memory ball’ for each feeling @CPatuawa ❤️💚💙💜💛 #takpschool #remotelearningtakp

One of our kids borrowed and adapted some ideas and templates to make #homelearning activities for her brother. Love this creativity and independence. Any one need some Three Little Pigs learning ideas? This 7 year olds got you @KellyJ_McEvoy @jennie_sands #remotelearningtakp

ANZAC day was different this year. But the sacrifice and gratitude we feel each year was not diminished. Proud of our kids and the poems they produced. Lest we forget. #takpremotelearning @KellyJ_McEvoy @oliviaburt03 @cpausler

@KellyJ_McEvoy @deputygrocott @EmilieOkeefe @oliviaburt03 Loooove this!!

@deputygrocott A new approach to the open mindness thinking task @EmilieOkeefe @CPatuawa @oliviaburt03

A successful ‘everyday object’ art challenge today. Here’s some of ours:

@lynley_skiff @ClareGreenwoo10 Love this! Wayne you’re a champ!

Maintaining and nurturing relationships! Daily connection & ‘check ins’ ensure the well-being & pastoral care of our International Students is not compromised! Utilising support staff and their strengths #remotelearning #takp @ClareGreenwoo10

@oliviaburt03 @KellyJ_McEvoy @cpausler Love! So cool!

I thoroughly enjoyed my teaching online today. We changed things up and had some fun Friday tasks for the students to complete. Was awesome seeing the students get creative in a different kind of way. #remotelearningtakp #everyonecancreate @CPatuawa @KellyJ_McEvoy @cpausler

Today was about gratitude. People we are thankful for and things we are lucky to have. We had letters to parents, friends, essential service workers and even @jacindaardern. Highlighting positives, putting smiles on faces and even happy tears in eyes. @KellyJ_McEvoy @Jo_Weldon2

Love that our kids can still engage in Te Reo Māori lessons from home! Thanks @Matua_Heremia @KellyJ_McEvoy #remotelearningtakp
