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 :)

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....

He has been very busy solving lots of Maths problems and sharing them on his blog. You can check out his blog here.
