Love sharing and encouraging a love of reading with my kids no matter where we are 💕

Remote learning day 3. Thinking Tasks Day 1 - create 5 germs. Day 2 - Design and invent a ‘Germ Buster’. Day 3 - animate it all together. Love seeing our kids creativity and application of skills all independently! Kelly McEvoy oliviaburt03 #takpremotelearning

Huge shout out to my team after 3 days of #takpremotelearning. Their flexpertise, enthusiasm and dedication to their kids has allowed for the continuation of quality learning. Daily @zoom_us meetings has also helped communication and sanity. Kelly McEvoy oliviaburt03 Caroline Stephanie Pausler

Gutter board comps are a regular in our house at the moment! Thanks Matua Andy for the gear and for the skills he has that are making him harder and harder to beat! Andy Munn #sportsinator #takpremotelearning #justalittlecompetitive

Relationships, understanding and flexpertise are so important in this new venture. We are now entering our learners space. How does our teaching reflect this all while keeping our human and connectedness. Lots of food for thought with Ann Milne

Today was about gratitude. People we are thankful for and things we are lucky to have. We had letters to parents, friends, essential service workers and even Jacinda Ardern. Highlighting positives, putting smiles on faces and even happy tears in eyes. Kelly McEvoy Jo Weldon  ADE

ANZAC day was different this year. But the sacrifice and gratitude we feel each year was not diminished. Proud of our kids and the poems they produced. Lest we forget. #takpremotelearning Kelly McEvoy oliviaburt03 Caroline Stephanie Pausler

One of our kids borrowed and adapted some ideas and templates to make #homelearning activities for her brother. Love this creativity and independence. Any one need some Three Little Pigs learning ideas? This 7 year olds got you Kelly McEvoy Jennie Sands #remotelearningtakp

Using the movie Inside Out to unpack feelings and their significance with our Year 3 has made for a successful transition back to school- this collaborative task had each child make a ‘memory ball’ for each feeling Casey Patuawa ❤️💚💙💜💛 #takpschool #remotelearningtakp
