Bubble School Video

Blogger of the Week!

Kia ora koutou!

It's been fantastic seeing the increasing number of students engaging in blogging activities over the week. There have been so many great blog posts and enthusiastic bloggers it's been difficult to choose just a few blog posts and one blogger. However.... let me share with you this week's winner.

This week's Blogger of the Week goes to....

Skyla!

Skyla's Sea Challenge slideshow is fantastic and she has put a lot of effort into each of her blog posts.

The following students also worked hard on their blogging and have gotten spot prizes:

Abigail's Out in the Open story

Florence's Samoan Dance slideshow

Jaydah's Garden post

Lathan's Mountain Biking slideshow

Oliver and Sofi's Coral Reef (on Oliver's blog)

We look forward to seeing more of Ruru's fantastic work. Please have a look at their blog posts and leave a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment!

See you again next week :)

Ruru's Celebrity Gardener!

Kia ora koutou,

Today we have an exciting guest to share a message with you all. This video was taken last week when the Wigram teachers met for the first time in five weeks for our Teacher Only Day.

Without much further ado, we welcome to the blog.....

Mr Rob!!

The garden was looking fabulous and there were soooo many carrots!! I was going to take some but sadly forgot. Hopefully there will be some veges to share when we all get back to school.

Do you have a vege garden? Or maybe you have more flowers at home! This could be a good opportunity to take a video of your backyard and share the different things that are growing in your garden. For those of you who do not have a big garden, you could design your own dream garden with a waterfall and pond.. maybe even a magic frog prince! The possibilities are endless......

Have fun creating and leave a message for Mr Rob below!

And the blogging prizes to go.....

Kia ora koutou,

The Ruru teachers have had a fantastic two days seeing lots of the Ruru students through our Google Meets. Mr Williams has been very busy with the children onsite and is sad to be missing out on seeing your smiling faces, but fingers crossed we will all see each other at school soon!

Without much further ado, here are the winners for this week's Blogging Prizes....
