What a great first (half) week! We have had a great time getting to know the students over the past three days and we can already see how motivated they are to learn and be self-managers.
We have spent the past few days revisiting our Hero Values (Healthy Individuals, Enthusiastic Learners, Responsible Citizens & Open-minded Explorers), talking about what it means to be respectful and working on how to be ‘Rimu’ in our classroom (think moving around the space, voice level etc).
Our other learning has been using our classroom site to work on a choice of activities around Reading, Writing and Mathematics. The students will be sharing their completed work next week. We have found it really interesting to watch the students manage themselves and the work during this time. And the work they are producing is really impressive. And on top of that we have even managed our first individual blog post! Wahoo!!!
Mrs Taylor and Mrs Spragg forgot to take some photos of all this amazing learning but we have managed to get some individual pictures so here they are our Rimu stars!
