Students in Team Pohutukawa have the option of completing their home learning either online or offline. Each week, students will either receive a digital home learning sheet via Google Classroom or will collect a paper copy of it from their teacher.
The steps for accessing home learning are displayed below:
Here's a close up of the home learning sheet:
Instructions
Students, your parents/caregivers will help you to select 2-4 home learning activities from the table below. You should focus on areas that you need to work on the most. If you want to change your chosen activities later in the term, you can do so but only if your parents/caregivers agree. You need to highlight each activity as you finish it to show that it has been completed. When you have completed your home learning, a parent/caregiver needs to write their name at the bottom of this page as verification. Once this is done you need to use the Turn In feature of Google Classroom to submit your home learning for this week or hand in your home learning book if you can’t use Google Classroom.
