Welcome back to Term 2. Wow, what a difference this has been! We began the Term with Distance Learning from home due to the world wide Covid-19 pandemic - something we will remember for many years to come. It has been a very different way of learning and it has been encouraging to see the support from parents and students regarding the tasks that have been set through Distance Learning. I am proud of Room 15 for embracing and adapting to this style of learning and the challenges encountered along the way within the home 'bubble'. We have all adapted to new ways of learning and have improved on our digital technology skills in the process which is important for future learning. Google Meets was a great way for us to meet as a class online and gave us an opportunity to reconnect as a class, say hello to our friends, and see familiar faces again.  Thank you to all our parents, Grandparents and whanau for your support during this unprecedented time. Room 15 has worked hard and produced some amazing work over the ‘lockdown’ period and it was great to receive some photos of the work they did.
