Last week Taylor from the Summer Learning Journey came to our school to tell us about how the Summer Learning Journey can help us stay at the expected level of education during the summer holidays. The Summer Learning Journey helps you catch up with your reading and writing and then you post about it on your blog. They have done a survey on all the people that have done the Summer Learning Journey and the results where all the people who did the summer Learning Journey stayed at the expected level of education for their year and the people how did not do the summer Learning Journey went down the summer slide. The summer slide is when you haven’t been practising you reading and writing as much as you do in school and your reading and writing levels drop during the holidays. You also get to look at other peoples work on their blogs and comment on them. When you comment and post on your blog you get points. At the end of the holidays all of your points gets added up and whoever has the most points wins a cool prize. Did you know that it takes three month for you to get back to the level you where at at the begging of the holidays? Have you ever participated in the Summer Learning Journey?
Kia ora Imogen,

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I hope you are having a great holiday so far :)
It sounds like you listened very well when I came into your school to visit - ka pai! I just wanted to pop in and say that it’s not too late to start the programme! You can find the activities here: https://sites.google.com/site/summerlearningjourney/weekly-activities
You can do any of the activities, so take a look at some of the options. I’m sure there will be something that you’ll find interesting to learn about.
I hope I get to read some of your work!
