Travelling Animals

While in Lockdown, the world has gone so quiet! Travelling to far off places is now just a dream, and so we have to use our imagination to take us to the places we want to go!
With the world locked down, MNL were challenged to send their pets, or themselves to some far off destinations - places that they would one day like to visit! Our pets and animals travelled to some pretty impressive places - all around the world. You can check out some of their dream destinations below:

Wellbeing Wednesday - Word Art

Every day, throughout Term Two, we have a different wellbeing focus in MNL. Wellbeing Wednesday is a day in which we can reflect on, focus on and put in to place all of the things that help us feel good, especially when we are feeling a bit down. Our challenge for this Wellbeing Wednesday, was to design a piece of word art on https://wordart.com/ that incorporated all of the things that help us feel good, the things we enjoy and the things that are important to us. Check out some of the amazing creations from MNL below (A few more to be added, when they are complete).

Imaginary Animals

MNL were again challenged by an awesome Schoolkit activity. If you have not seen or heard of Schoolkit, they are an amazing group in New Zealand, who create and share incredible learning resources with schools, teachers and students, and most recently parents across New Zealand. This challenge encouraged us to watch a video by illustrator Koji, and then design our own imaginary animals.
