Hospital

Ok, so you might know that your teacher was in hospital over the weekend.  She is doing absolutely fine now just needs a few days to recover before she comes and visits you.  She will tell you whats been going on when she sees you next. 

But, I wonder, have you been in hospital?

Student Led Conferences

Last week we had Student Led Conferences.  This is when our parents make a time to come and visit our class.  Then we tell them what we are learning, what level we are and how we are going to get to the next one.

First we - Introduce our parents to the teacher.  We knocked on the door, greeted the teacher and introduced each of our parents.

Second we - Asked them nicely to sign our visitors book.

Third we - Seated our parents.  We had to pull of the chairs first for mum and dad and then sit between them.

Fourth we - Discussed our learning.  Using the sheet we had written up we shared with our parents what level we were working at for Reading, Writing and Maths.   Sometimes this is difficult but we did it.  We showed them examples in our books to support what we were saying.

Fifth we - Showed our parents around the room.  We shared the powerpoint presentations we had made on the brain and our class Blog.

Sixth we - Asked our parents if there was anything else they wanted to ask our teacher.  Then they signed a certificate for us.

Writers Blog

Hi,

The writers blog is up and running!  I have added it to the links gadget on the side of this page.  Can you get to it by yourself?  There are questions for you to answer when you get there.  But remember, it is a place for sharing our writing and getting honest and helpful feedback.  We need to be respectful of the author and their feelings.

Happy Blogging!

Multiple Intelligences

Today we learnt how we learn.  We learnt that there are multiple intelligences.  But they are not like being smart with more than one brain, its a bit like the way you learn best and how you are smarter and being abel to think one way. 

Miss Hammond set up different stations around the room that we spent 5 mins at.  Each one was based on a MI.  Emmas and Dallas are listening to Music and drawing what they feel.  Matai and Neil are arranging foam shapes to make pictures, this is a visual and Kinesthetic task.  Jake is completing a word puzzle, which is a logical task.  Carrie and Cameron are doing a kinesthetic task.
