Distance Learning Guidelines for Whanau
Year 3, Week 3
Dear Parents,
As teachers we appreciate your concerns as to how the recent coronavirus
outbreak might impact schools and your child’s learning, so we will continue to
provide you with some ideas to help you continue your child’s education during
school closures.
We also are aware that keeping children engaged in their learning whilst at home is
not easy and your children may be feeling anxious or unsure at this time. We have
prepared activities for your child that can be completed both independently and with
adult support. Students may complete as many or as few of the suggested activities
within a week of learning as is appropriate for them.
We appreciate your continued support during this time.

Sounding Off
At Auckland Zoo, some animals such as the elephants use sound vibrations travelling
through the ground to communicate. Elephants make ultra-sonic sounds that we are not able
to hear! They can
send vibrations through their bodies and
the ground to other elephants up to
5 kilometres away. What sorts of
things might elephants
communicate about?
ISTEAM ISTEAM Challenge – Design and Build an Auckland Zoo Enclosure!

How to play
First you need to create the reins – make sure you have plenty of
space. Get a skipping rope or a long piece of string and loop it around
the legs of two chairs to form a square. If you don't have any chairs
handy, ask two friends to loop it around their legs.
With the rope low to the ground, jump in and out 10 times.
If you touch the rope, start again. If you make it, move the rope up a
little higher and repeat.
Move it up a third time – see if you can make it without stepping on the
rope.
When you have completed this make a pattern. Jump with 2 feet in then
one foot out.
Get creative and send through some videos to your teacher.
Stretches
Hold all stretches for a minimum of 20 seconds. The longer the better. NB.
It is a slow 20 count if you are counting and not timing.
Every day this week complete stretches 1-9 as soon as you wake up and
after you have had a warm shower before bed. These stretches will keep
you in tip top shape and help your muscles remain flexible.
