Welcome Back to Term 2


Our Distance Learning

Welcome back to school, Room 14!

You can find the Week 1 and Week 2 Distance Learning Slidedeck for the Kauri Whanau: 
  • on the 'Learning At Home' tab above,
  • on the Sunnyhills website on its own webpage called Distance Learning at Home. 
  • in the emailed information sent to your parents (April 14) that contains the links to the Distance Learning page on our website.

You can be creative about how you share your learning. Remember we have our SHARED Google Drive where you can create your docs, slides, drawings or forms. Please make sure you name your files with your first name and activity name, then put it in the correct Shared Folder so that I can find it.
