First Day Back

Today was our first day back at school in Level 2.  It was great to see everyone in 'real life' and not on a computer screen.  One of the activities I wanted everyone to have a go at during lockdown was the Sand Art.  Only a couple of people had tried it out at home so we tried it today as part of our mindfulness and I am pretty sure that it was a huge success!  There were some amazing creations and if you watch the individual blogs I am going to get everyone to blog their wonderful sand art tomorrow.

Blogging Leaderboard

We decided to set up a blogging challenge.  It officially started on Tuesday 31st August and basically you earn a point for each blog, comment or answer you post on Blogger.  This first round will finish at the end of Monday 6th September and we will start the next round on Tuesday 7th September.  I thought heading into the weekend that we might need a leaderboard set up so you know where you are placed.  Well done to those of you who have made it onto the leaderboard!

Random Acts of Kindness Day!

Yesterday was Random Acts of Kindness Day.  It is a little trickier in lockdown but we had lots of ideas to choose from.  Hollie in our room posted this on her blog.  Well done Hollie for thinking of the other people in your bubble!

Brilliant Bloggers!

In our Google Meet this morning I put the challenge out to the Room 14 students to start blogging about their learning or activities that they were completing in lockdown.  I am very pleased to say that several of the students in Room 14 have taken notice of what I said and already blogged today.  We had Vivienne blogging about Prototec, Taliyah's quote DLO from Mahatma Ghandi, Hollie's quote DLO from Einstein, peanut butter biscuits made by Andre and Finn's times table maintenance.

The quote activity is really interesting. It would be great if everyone tried out this activity.  Taliyah is trying to do one each day and so far she is succeeding!  Remember the links to all of our individual blogs are down the right hand side of this blog. 

Quote of the Day!

Miss Bargent, our Grad Student for this term, came up with this activity that works brilliantly while we are all learning from home.  You select a quote, explain what it means to you, find out about the person the quote belongs to and then share another quote from that person.

Taliyah was the first student in Room 14 to give it a go and we think she has done a wonderful job.

More Yummy Lockdown Baking!

This time it was Finn baking a marble cake for his sister's birthday. You look like you are very confident in the kitchen Finn and the end result looks pretty good😀

The Beginning of our Lockdown Activity Blogs...

Well done Stirling!  Your cookies look very yummy.  Great to see you blogging about your lockdown activities:)

Baking cookies

This week during lock down I decided to make cookies, and we've had to compromise because we didn't have condensed milk so we had to use caramel as an alternative but it tasted the same any way.  Other then that here's a photo of them:
