Escape plans from week 8 - Writing Challenge

Part of week 8's writing challenge had students talking at home and creating escape plans with their parents.  Here are some examples of escape plans that children shared.

Keep up the amazing writing guys it is fantastic to see.  This week we have enjoyed receiving your different and creative ideas about fire safety.

 Bailey worked with her mum and dad and came up with different versions with the same meeting place.  They had great fun thinking and talking together.

Kaelan used Pic Collage to share his ideas about his fire plan and safe meeting place.

Nakita created an Explain Everything about her escape plan.

Aiden even made a cool movie about his fire safety plan!

Week 8 Writing Challenge

This week we will revisit fire safety at school so this weeks writing challenge reflects this learning.  We welcome all our blog readers to comment on this post as we love receiving comments from parents, and others from all over NZ.  This challenge also has a second part that asks for you to take a photo of your escape plan and email it to kariene@ohaeawaiprimary.co.nz so we can add these to our blog.  Although we hope that none of us will ever need to use these escape plans, it is a very important part of being prepared, so we look forward to seeing them.

Wednesdays Maths Questions

I know that teachers are having a full day strike tomorrow but I thought I would post the question for tomorrow now.  As we won't be at school and you are reading this, you will need to email me your answers (again by the end of the day).  There will be another question for Thursday, so keep checking back here for the next lot of questions.

Writing happens outside of school

Here is an example of a piece of writing a child completed over the holiday.  When she arrived at school on the first Monday back she asked if she could please publish it onto an explain everything and then have it uploaded to our blog.  Well done Sienna M.

Here is also an example of another piece of writing that a child created to share with the class as they were away sick.  She logged onto our class site to view what it was that the class was writing about.  She was lucky as she had access to a family iPad at home and did her work straight onto it and then shared it with our class.  Well done Nakita. 

Both pieces of writing are great examples of how writing can be an enjoyable thing to do both at school and at home.  They are also great examples that we can use as rewindable learning moments to share in class as part of learning we will do in the future.  Well done.



If your child does complete writing at home please help us to share it by either sending it to school with them or taking a photo of what they have done and emailing it to us directly.  Our kids love seeing their work up on the blog and getting comments and questions about what they are doing and learning.  This is such an important part of their learning journey.
