After our scarey interruption this morning Elisara still completed the challenge for today.
Let's see his effort.
Elisara you have been very busy today.
Well Done Elisara!
Scarey!!
It was a very eventful meeting this morning. While we were in the meeting, our phones went off with an Emergency Alert for an evacuation to higher ground if you are close to the coast line.
I don't think that any of us were near the coast line so I think that we were all safe. Let's pray that all those that are effected will be safe.
A quick photo of all those that were in our meeting this morning when we were interrupted by the Emergency Alert before we logged off.
Stay Safe my Beautiful People
After our Google Meeting today Rm 15 students got busy. Let's see what they were up to.
Elisara did the Wednesday alphabet challenge. He found 26 items around his home to match the beginning letter of each alphabet. 
Fantasic job Elisara
Can you match each picture to the corresponding letter of the alphabet?
Elisara then completed the Tuesday challenge and showed us the people in his bubble.
Elisa drew all the members in his bubble. He used lots of colour and labelled everyone.
Jonathan was even busy today. He did today's challenge.
Jonathan did his appreciation card to his mum. She really deserves it because she has been supporting Jonathan with his learning all the way through this lockdown.

Today when we met, we share information about a book we read on Storyline Online yesterday. It was a task to do from yesterday's meeting. We also practised skip counting in 5's and then we were using the chat option to chat to each other on Google Meet. It was fun chatting to each other without talking.
Activity 3 for Wednesday saw Jonathan scanning his home looking for things that he can take a picture of to do the alphabet challenge.

Room 15 had a great Google Meet session today. Today, Elisara even joined us. It was great seeing those beautiful, smiling faces at me. Today we learnt how to present to others on Google Meet, we did our skip-counting in 2s, we learnt how to change our background and finally, we listened to a story "The Rainbow Fish" on Storyline Online.
Oh, gave out so many Gold Cards today. Mr Avatea is going to 
be so busy giving Gold stickers to all these amazing people.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Room 15 people in our Google meetings everyday at 11:00 during the lockdown.
Jonathan was already hard at work drawing his bubble. Look at his effort.
Jonathan has done a great job labelling his picture so that we know who is who and he even wrote alittle about everyone.
Great Job Jonathan!!

We had Garden to Table. Half the class were in the kitchen cooking up some yummies while the other half were in the garden .
Look at what we made!!
The other half of the class were also busy in the garden. Mrs Tupou took us around the garden telling us about the different herbs that are grown there. We even got to taste some of the herbs.
