Hello to you all...morena. Welcome back to Term 2 even though it’s going to be a little different for the beginning of term two!
It’s been a crazy few weeks and I have been in the Gill bubble with David (my husband) and Matt. On about day three I set up a mini golf course in the sheep paddock next to our house. I used electric fence standards and placed a cone on top so I have something to aim for. I have to remember to mow the greens every few days and blow off the excess grass with a leaf blower! David and I seem to have lost a few golf balls along the way but as the grass gets shorter, I’m sure they’ll resurface.
Looking ahead to term two school work, it would be awesome if your child could use their Allenton School google account. They have their own email address and I will be sharing daily work with them through the shared google drive rather than emailing parents as I have been. This work is NOT compulsory, but a guide to help them develop some school routines during this learning period ahead. I understand that it’s not always practical for everyone to have access to computers at the same time, and it may be that your child prefers to follow other learning challenges through the TV, life skills at home (baking, growing plants, jigsaws, lego etc).
For the rest of this week (15-16, 17th April), try and complete some learning through reading, spelling skills, writing and/ or maths each day. Below are some ideas- select what suits you and if you do reading and maths one day, then do some spelling skills and writing the next day!
Ideas for READING
Read a book, read theory, EPIC books, the below link to Dav Pilkey’s books or even David Walliams audio stories Elevenses with The World of David Walliams
Reading Activities through Dav Pilkey ( see the above image titled DOGMAN Week 2)
Every Friday a new book is introduced along with suitable activities- Week one and two are already there...have a read and select some of the follow up activities to complete. Add to your reading folder in your google drive! Click on this link: https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/books/dav-pilkey-at-home/?fbclid=IwAR3PXv1alT_jsvC53LXAhxBk3WT-0TOTurFQ-_1duV0WI_98Owg0BBE4Xv4
SPELLING
Noredink, studyladder, sumdog-yes there’s free access to maths, spelling and reading activities-
Word of the day- use a dictionary, book or word of the day from the internet to learn a new word. Explain what it means, write it in a sentence, if possible draw it.
WRITING
Write a diary/journal about what you and your family have been doing over the lockdown time. This has NEVER happened before, so it would be interesting to record your ups and downs, and how as a family, you have kept your selves entertained!
Select a story starter/ idea from the April Quick Writes
Create a poster with your family bubble and write / draw what everyone has been doing over the last few weeks.
Sit outside and list all the things you can see/hear/feel/notice about autumn. Write a poem or a short story about AUTUMN.
MATHS
Prototec, prodigy, studyladder, sumdog, woodlands maths, xtramaths
Play card games, board games, practice reading the time on the clock, learn your times tables!
Passwords for xtramaths: email address can be either nicky.gill@allenton.school.nz or your own parents. Please ONLY use your pin!
Alternatively- if you don’t want to do the above here are some AUTUMN activities you might prefer to complete- add them to your topics folder in your google drive!

Lastly- students in Room 3 have been sent a google hangout Meet link via their student school email. They will need to check their emails on their google account to find this. Our first meeting has been sent out for Wednesday 15th April, 1pm, I look forward to talking to 27 children!
Beneath are some guidelines to help us when we use google hangouts:

MATHS…...prototec, sumdog, prodigy, studyladder, solve me mobile puzzles..all good activities. Alternatively get out a pack of cards, turn over 3 cards quickly add, turn over 4 cards and quickly add- look for easy combinations (pairs that add to 10) or spend some time reading and recognising clock times- digital and analogue clock faces. Lastly today would be a fantastic day to set up a wee shop. Raid the pantry and get an adult to write some prices on the packets of food- then set up shop and work out how much money you would need to purchase 4 or more items! How much change would you get from $20? Or $50

Hi there all….well PE sessions were a hit with Mork and Mindy, although I thought that Mork was going to try and fly at one moment but then he just hung around to watch Mindy count up to 30 sixty times to get my 30 minutes of fitness in!
It’s a glorious day outside so I hope that you’ve been able to complete the outside scavenger hunt! It’s hard staying at home I know, but if it helps to keep yourself and others safe, then it’s worth it.
There is a great virtual excursions site that you can explore here when the weather starts to pack it in later on this week:
https://www.teachstarter.com/au/blog/10-virtual-excursions-and-activities-kids-will-love/
My favourites would be Mars and the Deep Sea exploration, have a look. You could make a short slide show about what you have discovered !

Hi everyone! I hope that you have managed to log into your google account from home and are able to read this! How did yesterday go for you? I hope that you are able to create some sort of routine with your family for you learning time during the day. You can use any / all of the websites which we have used at school. I have added xtramath, noredink and Spelling City which we briefly looked at on Monday.
Aim for 20-30 minutes at one area, then TAKE A BREAK...run around outside for 10 minutes!
Remember to cover spelling, reading, maths, writing- every day, if at all possible. This might NOT be just on the computer, but maybe you might cover maths through making jelly for tea, playing a card d THIS :) I’m sitting in Room 3 and everyone is VERY QUIET! ...only the heat pump is going to keep game, chess. Writing- you can add to the quick writes bingo board in your writing folder, or add to your Diary Writing, or create your own story...remember to keep it in your writing folder and I will be able to read it from my house! This morning I found a really good scavenger hunt for inside and outside- I’ll share this with you today so you can have a go with your family! Have fun, I know it’s a scary time but you’re at home safe with your family and that’s the best place to be at the moment...miss you all...Mork and Mindy are at my home waiting for me to give them some instructions!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ismeli….. 11 years old today!
