As promised (on our last blog post), here are some snaps of the Diwali crafts we made last week. Miss Nodder shared four different videos or four different crafts for us to choose from. Most of us decided to make diyas and lanterns.
In recognition of this special celebration the majority of our distance learning tasks have been focused around Diwali. We learnt about what Diwali is, as well as why and how it is celebrated. We're very lucky to have a few experts in our class who were able to share their knowledge with the rest of us. From there we were able to make connections between Diwali and the special celebrations in our own cultures - we were surprised to note so many similarities between the different cultures in our class! A few of us also made our very own Diwali crafts. (Photos to come, watch this space).
Two of our wonderful Hay Park students even dressed up in their beautiful cultural outfits for the special occasion. Check them out in the photos below!

Here in New Zealand it is the last day of the school term. To celebrate this, as well as making it through six and a half weeks of lockdown and distance learning, we held a Fancy Dress Friday Google Meet party! Some of us wore costumes and others wore their favourite outfit. We played games and had a dance party, and Mr Morris, who dressed up as Elvis Presley, even did a performance and sang one of Elvis' songs to us! It was a great way to finish off what has been a very difficult term.
We'd like to say another big BIG thank you to our families for helping us with our learning over the last few weeks - we couldn't have done it without you. 😊
And for those of you who are in New Zealand, have a wonderful holiday and cross your fingers for us here in Auckland who are hoping to move down to alert level 2 next week. 🤞🤞
Catch ya next term! 😎

We hope you're well, wherever you are in the world. 😊
This week Miss Nodder introduced us to Tock's Lockdown Toilet Roll Competition where we were set the challenge of designing and making something out of the materials around our house. We could make anything we wanted but it had to include at least one empty toilet roll or paper towel roll.
One super creative Hansen Class student rose to the challenge and created a cat pencil case almost entirely out of toilet rolls! Not only is it creative but it's practical too!
If you would like to help Krisha win the competition, all you need to do is open the link below and click on the big green voting button underneath Krisha's picture. Krisha, and the rest of Hansen Class, would definitely appreciate your vote. 😊
Good luck Krisha!

We hope you've had a great start to the week.
With Auckland still in lockdown we're continuing to work away at our distance learning tasks. Here are some of the latest pieces of work we've sent through to Miss Nodder. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as she did. 😊
Kia ora koutou!
Here in Auckland we're into our fourth week of lockdown. It's starting to get very hard and some of us are missing school a LOT! Fortunately, we can still communicate and learn through the wonderful world of technology! 😊
Hansen Class have been busy busy, meeting every morning through Google Meet and completing lots of distance learning tasks. Take a look at what we've been up to on the slide deck below.
A big thank you to our families for helping us with our learning while we are at home.

Earlier this month we celebrated Father's Day! Because we're still in lockdown, and can't go out to the shops, we had to get creative with our Father's Day gifts.
Check out some of the awesome cards we made for our dads. 😊
