  • Term 2 (Week 2-20-26 April 2020)

    Kia Ora Class. This week, you are doing the following activity. 


                                                                                LOCKDOWN MEMOIR


    You are home during the lockdown. This long stay at home will be memorable for a long time. You may have been doing things which you have not done before or for a long time. Also, you may have learnt a new hobby or a life-skill. You may have been bored at times and doing something very exciting at other times. You may have realised that it is not the THINGS but PEOPLE who have the power to make you happy or sad.  You may have learnt the importance of family, friends, grandparents, relatives, school, teachers and essential workers. 


    I hope you will value a hug, a smile,  a compliment, a few kind words, a cheerful ‘Kia Ora/Howdy’ much more than you did in the past. 


    I want you to record your ‘Lockdown Memories.’  You may do it on paper/diary or digitally. You can include your pictures, videos, family interviews and some writing. 



    Here are a few ideas/headings you could use in your Memoir. Add more if you like.
