A big welcome to Monica.

Monica is an international student - she's from a country called Cheonan in Korea.  It's not a well known country in Korea but here's a little bit about her.

I have a mom, dad and younger brother.  My school in Korea is called: Branksome Hall Asia and it's an international school and it is placed at Je Ju island.  I have enjoyed New Zealand so far.  I have been here for two weeks and leave in the next two weeks on Saturday.  In New Zealand I stay with Logan my home stay Dad and home stay mum Michelle and younger home stay brother Lucas.  They welcomed me into their home.  Lucas is like a brother to me he always comes to my room and says "Let's play together".  I am going to miss him when I leave and can't wait to find out if I'm coming back.  And that's about me.
I  hope to see our class again. Let's keep in touch.

What's Your Number

Here's an interesting link that Mr Cowan sent all of the teachers today.  It tells you what the global population was at the time you were born.

You just need to add in the month you were born, the date and the year and it will calculate and tell you how many people were on this amazing planet at the time you were born.  Pretty cool!

A Reminder

Tomorrow you need to bring:

• Something from another country
• Something that is special in your family
• Something that is made in another country

You don't have to bring one of each - these are just ideas.

Please remember and, if something is too special to bring  you can take a photo of it and bring that along.

TERM 3 INQUIRY / CONCEPT

Hi everyone

This term's inquiry is around Digital and Global Citizenship.

I have some questions for you to get you thinking:

1)  Who or what is a 'citizen'?
2)  Who is a Digital Citizen?
3)  Who is a Global Citizen?


Think about what these terms mean to you.  We will talk about this some more tomorrow and start to brainstorm all the vocabulary that might go along with these terms and ideas / concepts.
