Today's words of the day - Collaboration & Competitions!

Today's learning was brought to you by the letter 

 Our Google MEET focus was on Collaboration - 

we worked digitally with a buddy on a shared Google Doc. 

The task was an Emoji Quiz on Famous Children's books. 

The highest score we got in about 10 minutes was 16/25 - that' was pretty good!

You can try it here - 

The answers are at the bottom of this post (but don't cheat!)

If you liked that, 

try this one on Kids Movies - add your scores in the comments!

Answers for this are at the bottom of this post too.

The YMS Student Council is launching a cool Student-wide competition today too 

so stay tuned for that!

It's...

Also, Rimu's Guess Who is still going a couple of posts down - have a go!

Show and Tell Tuesday

Today's MEET took us back to the old day's as 

we all brought and shared some special things 

we have in our homes. 

Have a look below at some of the cool things that were shared. 

It was also another day for a party as 

we celebrated Hana's 10th Birthday 

(which was actually on Sunday). 

We all bombed her with Happy Birthday's 

when she joined our MEET - everyone turned on their mic's 

and said HB all at once - that was pretty cool. 

Here's the birthday song we played Hana today -

ALSO, 

Go and spam Hana's latest blog post

Good News for Rimu in Lockdown!

Today we got some pretty cool news... 

The Year 6's love Maths so much that 

they have made it onto a Hall of Fame!

That's right, the Mathletics Hall of Fame!

Don't believe us?

Well here's the proof! 

First we were 50th, then 22nd!

Thanks Bridget for spotting us! 😉👍🏻

Oh and that's not all, 

we also have a Mathlete in the 

Top 100 students in the country, HA!

Bet you would never have thought that!

Here's some more proof!

Now the challenge is on... what are the Year 7/8s going to do about it? Hmmmm...

Who will be next on the Hall of Fame...?

OH and here's some more news... 

The YMS Student Council met today too, on Google MEET. 

They have something cool brewing...what will it be?

Here are some clues and some inside info 🤭  - 

1. It could be launched this week
   
2. It should be fun
3. It will be for the whole school

It's true, here's the meeting proof...

Oh and the best part of today is that it is 

Jorja's Birthday!

🎵We sang Happy Birthday 

(well, some of us did!...we have a few shy singers amongst us)

AND

🎵 we played her this song - 

AND

✍ We are spamming her blog with happy birthday comments - 

you can say Happy Birthday to Jorja here too!

We hope you all had a good Monday!

Stay safe in your bubble, until next time! 

Ahhh we hope your bubble is this satisfying...

We're Online, We're Distancing, We're Learning, TOGETHER

FOR

Thanks to Google MEET we have been able to connect with each other again for Term 2. 

We have been "MEETing" with each other at 11am each day 

and it has been 

so good 

to see each other again!

We have been working on our Online Distance Learning Programme on our Rimu Team Site as well - check out all the Rimu Team Individual Student blogs for all the kinds of things we do!

Each day on our MEET we have a 

Focus and a Challenge.

Our First FOCUS was 'Connection' and our CHALLENGE was a Quiz. 

On Thursday our FOCUS was 'Understanding our Learning' and our CHALLENGE was going to be a Scavenger Hunt (but Grid View wnet down so we had to change it to...)

...Signing into Google MEET using a nickname instead of a link.

Today's FOCUS was a 'Reflection on our week' and our CHALLENGE was a PET DAY!

We all brought our pets and introduced them 

(well, those of us that have them did, and everyone else chose to just watch and listen...

...no one chose to bring a pet rock this time 😢)

Here we all are on our MEET (it took a few goes to get a screenshot sorted!)

And here are our pets - 

How have you been connecting with your class during Term 2 in lockdown?

Do you use Grid View on Google MEET? 

Is it working for you?

Miss Rennell's dog Molly showed us this video of her friend too, 

singing about LOVING LOCKDOWN 🤣

Do you think your pets will be sad when we all go back to school?
