The NEXT foundation/ Summer Learning Journey

The Summer Learning Journey for NEXT Foundation from Next Foundation on Vimeo.

Today we had a very special assembly. People from the NEXT foundation, people from the maniaakalani cluster and Rachel from the summer learning journey all came along to this assembly. After our visitors finished talking we watched this video about our school that starred our class. After our assembly we headed outside on the bottom field to have lunch that was kindly donated to our school from the 'eat my lunch' foundation. We did karakia and started eating. Of course not everyone is the same so there were vegetarian food packs as well. This was a great experience to have taken part in.  

Summer Learning Journey

On Friday we had a special visit from Hazel. She came to talk to us about the Summer Learning Journey. This is a free event that you can do over the holidays. This summer it is time travel. First you need to register on the Summer Learning Journey site. Fill in your details and you are automatically registered. When you do a blog post Hazel or Rachel check your blog post and comment on that post. Every post you do you get points. At the end of the blogging challenge Rachel rounds up your points. If you blogged through out the holidays you will have more points. The following year Rachel will come to your school and give out prizes and certificates to the ones who participated. If you did a post you will get a certificate but if you blogged continuously you have the possibility of winning a prize.
