New podcasts!

Check out our inaugural  2011 podcasts by Ben and Anna. They have done a great job with their first voice recordings.
Do you like the class stinger that plays before their voices? We will make a few and see which ones people like to listen to.

It's All About Us!

We have completed our "It's all about us!"inquiry unit that focussed on getting to know ourselves as learners and looked at how we can work well as a class. We will use these ideas for the rest of the year. We have a movie about 8 different intelligences to complete and possibly some booklet pages. The main ideas were:
  • There are many ways to be smart
  • There are many thinking tools we can use to help us learn
  • We all strive to do our very best
  • We are a community of caring, thinking learners
  • We follow the school values and respect guidelines
  • We are all different but have many things in common
  • We regularly set SMART goals and do our very best to achieve them
We have also added to our 'About Us' and 'Whanau & Friends' pages. You can reach these by clicking the tab at the top of this blog page. What a great start to the year!

Monkey Business

Here is Montey, our class monkey. Every night Montey goes home with one of the class. The person who takes Montey for a sleepover helps him to write in his diary. The next day they read the diary to the class after we've done the roll and read "What's on Top".
