A Poem About Covid-19 by Mrs Devi

                            ‘In the time of Covid we felt trepid’ 

Pandemic, pedagogy and screens combine

Hangouts daily waiting to see who would arrive

Whanau and children together give learning a try.

I remember the days when I thought that working from home would simply be great.

No need for the car, or dress up,

I could work in my pj’s and never once worry about the boss, 

I’d only dress up when I’d be meeting on ‘meet’.

Staring at the screen I grab a seat

waiting for my students to click on google meet

More time to get things right

We greet each other and begin our sharing time,

Not face to face, nowadays we do it online.

The connection grew more and more important, 

not only the Wifi but seeing the teacher’s next installment.

Who would have thought - a teaching day with no students,

We don't just relax, but start each day with prudence. 

With concerns about how to do the job well

Just refresh your browser and teach your kids how to spell.

Despite the time and effort, we put in for our students to succeed,

A glass of merlot or a full stout ale after a long day’s work - was guaranteed.

Movie: Reach For Our Dreams

 Movie: Reach For Our Dreams

Our movie is about chasing and achieving dreams and it can help you visualize success and give you the confidence to keep going. This song will motivate you to continue on the journey of your dreams and push through any adversity you may encounter on your way.  The idea for this movie came from all of Room 4 students. We talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up and we listened to some songs that could motivate the students to pursue their dream but we chose the song "Reach for our dreams" by S Club 7.
