Who would've thought we would be back in Lockdown! Last week Auckland went into Level 3 Lockdown which meant more distance learning for Te Waka Ako. Luckily we do this really well, and it hasn't been surprising to see the creativity that has come out of being stuck at home. Our students have been baking, filming, making models, doing crazy science experiments, exploring space, creating daffodils and travelling the globe using Google Earth (to name a few).
BUT not just the students! Here are the teachers of Te Waka Ako getting creative at home too (after all of the marking and class meets of course!)
Mrs Jones has got her sewing machine out and has made her family some masks.
Mrs law has been making pancakes (and then going for a big walk)
And Miss Daly has been planting little succulents into cups she found at 2nd hand stores to repurpose as gifts.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteTe Waka Ako and the teachers have been doing loads of work. I really like how you shared some of the activities the students have been doing. I love how you took photos of the teachers too. I think it's super cool how you can make masks, Mrs Jones. Could you share the recipe, Mrs Law? Those little plants are adorable, Ms Daly.
Overall, fantastic blog post. I'm looking forward to heading back to school next Monday. Have a lovely afternoon teachers, blog you later
Hello Te Waka Ako,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you teachers have been having some fun during lockdown! That is so cool Mrs Jones! Now I want to make some face mask! Were the pancakes yum? Maybe you could share your recipe. That is a really kind thing to do Ms Daly. Thank you for this outstanding blog post!
C ya later!
Te Waka Ako, how lucky are you having such talented teachers? I have not been as creative as these teachers during this lockdown, but I have commented on lots of blog posts, held online rehearsals and been in school on some days to supervise students. I am looking forward to seeing everyone next week, when we return to school in Level Two. Noho oro mai.
ReplyDeleteHello Te Waka Ako.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the students and teachers have been very creative this lockdown. I like how you added some photos of the teachers doing things at home. It reminded me of when we do some planting or baking. When I read this blog post I also thought of when my Mum made masks for me and my family. Those pancakes look delicous Mrs Law. The masks and succulents also look amazing. Could you share the recipe on how to make the pancakes?
Over all this was an amazing blog post. I look forward to seeing all of you on monday at school. Have and amazing day.
Stay safe and be kind.
Blog you later!

Anyways you guys made my day with all your lovely activity. Stay safe a have a fantastic day. Bye!
ReplyDeleteKia ora Te Waka Ako, My name is Lily from Te Ana Ako, It looks like the teachers have been working really hard on some cool stuff. It made me think about my mum making masks with the sowing machine for me and my family just like Mrs Jones. Wow that's a really cool idea Miss daily I wish I could have one of them myself and Mrs Law those pancakes look amazing and delish.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day lily.
Thank you everybody for your positive comments.
ReplyDeleteIt's important during lockdown Miss Daly, Mrs Jones and myself keep ourselves busy too, by being creative, caring and nurturing our whanau.
As you all know though, we were also very busy creating enjoyable and challenging learning tasks for you all within Te Waka Ako.
Take care everybody, look after yourselves and your family too.
Man, students of Te Waka Ako are getting soooooo good at commenting. Look at those thoughtful, kind, well written comments. I also love this blog post. It is very cool seeing what other people are spending their time on. Creative teachers what! I keep meaning to make some masks, but keep going outside to make things in my garden!. So I really love the teacup and mug gifts Miss Daly has created. I did something similar with a pair of my old gumboots that had holes in them and were letting in the muddy paddock water. Nothing beats pancakes. Haven't had any for ages, need to visit my family. I hope you all enjoy getting back to school to see friends and teachers again. stay safe out there and continue to be super awesome.
