Check out new ideas to keep you busy in week 6!

 Hi there! Well done, Gulf Harbour School for another week of lockdown that you used to learn and create. 

I have a few more ideas for activities that help you learn but hopefully might be fun as well. Don't forget to email me your work so I can publish it on the blog.

All the best,

Mrs Goodall

This is Stepan's Gruffalo mask - didn't he do a great job? We read the story at our web meeting for year 2 students. 

Avyan's Gruffalo Mask

It is so important to have friends. Watch the youtube video about one boy's amazing idea: The Buddy Bench :)

Click on the link to watch the video: https://youtu.be/V7Z-Hq-xvxM

What did you think about this idea? Have you ever had a sad time, because you didn't have a friend to play with? Write it down and send it to d.goodall@ghs.school.nz

I love the idea of a buddy bench - but it doesn't work in lockdown. What could work in lockdown? Send me your ideas!!!

This is my idea: You could write an email to your friends or your family. Why don't you send a kind message for somebody that could be published here on the blog?

This is my message for a wonderful friend of mine:

Dear Mrs Southgate,

I just wanted to message you to let you know that I am thinking of you in lockdown. I miss our chats and your great humour. We always have a laugh, even when times are a bit tougher. That is so nice. Let's meet up on Zoom soon. 

Your friend, Mrs Goodall

You can email me your message and it can be published here :) d.goodall@ghs.school.nz

Listen to this story, called Sylvester and the Magic Pebbel by William Steig. It is a lovely story with a happy ending (I let you know that right now, because Sylvester gets into serious trouble!). 

Click on the link to listen to the story:

Did you like the story? A wish is a powerful thing and very often people wish for the wrong things, right!? Write down a wish for the right thing - think about it carefully: What is the most important thing to wish for ....? Write it down and email it to d.goodall@ghs.school.nz

Sylvester collects pebbles. Go outside and find some pretty pebbles, too. What else can you find? - A feather, a shell, an interesting twig? Arrange those things prettily and email a photo to d.goodall@ghs.school.nz

Thank you, Avyan for sharing your wish to become a dancer with us. That is very cool!

Hi year 5 and 6 students! This book is more suited for you, I guess. It's a true story about a woman called Jane Addams, written by Tanya Lee Stone.

Find out about this remarkable American lady that wanted to make the world a better place. She is an inventor in her own rights, yet not a scientist.

Did you like the book? Then why don't you find out more about Jane Addams? Just google her, because the picture book doesn't have all the answers. In fact it is intersting to compare what else you can find out with the book. Send in the answers to the following questions:

What prestigious prize did Jane Addams receive in 1931?

Name some of the causes Jane Addams worked for in her life.

Jane had dreamed to become a doctor to help the poor. She became ill, when she was studying medicine and never finished her degree, which made her very sad. However, she achieved so much. What can we learn from her "failure"?

Kia Kaha, Gulf Harbour - Stay safe, my friends!!
