Our Learning from Home Padlet

  The best way to access the padlet is through google classroom. To find google classroom:  go to google chrome - there is a sign in on the right use student tepuna school email - first name, first initial letter of surname, @tepuna.school.nz all lower case, no spaces look right for the app launcher there you will find google classroom Google classroom password: spckt4s (I have sent an invitation to each student - it will be sitting in their google email account) Any problems, please email me. There are a couple of students who will be able to access google classroom, but may not get into the padlet - I have a tech whizz helping me sort that.  - sorted! Unfortunately I am unavailable from 8:30am - 10am as I am at school preparing devices for distribution. Good luck! MG

Kindness

  Now that we are all staying at home, we need to continue with our Kindness work. I have linked the kindness chart we were working on at school, and now you need to think about some kindness challenges you can set yourself to achieve at home. What are 5 or 6 things you could do to show kindness to others within your family?  Create your own challenge chart, and colour them in as you achieve them. Remember to continue showing kindness over and over again. Maybe the challenges can be for everyone in the family? https://www.bullyingfree.nz/assets/Uploads/Kindness-challenge.pdf
