Make an obstacle course for you and your family.
	Read this poem about names. Talk to someone in your family about the importance of your name. Does it have a special meaning are you named after someone? Write your name 5 times. If you have 5 different colours you could write your name in a different colour each time.
Could you find some recycled materials in your house and try to make something. I wonder what you could make. If you don't have anything perhaps you could draw me a picture of your favourite animal.

Monday - Home Learning Photos

Well done to Criss and Marina who both worked really hard yesterday and completed the 3 home learning tasks I gave them. I am so proud of you both.

Term 1, Week 5 - Monday

Talofa Aiga, I hope you are all doing well. Today is the first day of online learning for the week. I would really like to receive some emails showing me the work your children complete each day, I will then be able to share this work for other learners, staff and families to see.

My email is: cassandras@flatbush.school.nz

Here are today's 3 home learning activities:

Help a sibling to tidy their room. If you do not have a sibling then you could help mum or dad to tidy their room or you could tidy your own bedroom.
	Draw a picture of your family can you tell me the name of each person you draw. Perhaps you can ask them how to spell their name if you are unsure.
Sound out these words slowly, I wonder what letter is missing? Can you find out. Write each word on a piece of paper and draw a picture beside each word.

Teacher: Miss Shoemark

My name is Miss Cassandra Shoemark and I am the teacher in Room 7 for 2022. I am excited to learn about all of the tamariki in my class and learn about their whanau and wider community. 

This year is my second year of teaching after completing my bachelor of education degree in 2020. Whilst completing my degree I worked as a teacher aide at Sommerville Special School for three years, during this time I worked with a variety of children with an array of diverse needs. 

In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors running, hiking, swimming and cycling. I also love to travel and am very family orientated.

Please feel free to pop in and say hello or email me cassandras@flatbush.school.nz
