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!
It is great to have the YMS HERO Values to live and learn by. I look forward to following Rimu's progress as you present Digital Leraning Objects throughout the year. It has been a pleasure to observe Rimu class over the last three days and see how quickly all students have settled into learning. I think 2017 is going to be a great year in Rimu!
ReplyDeleteKia Ora(hi) Morgan and Riley here from Grey Main School. Great work! We really like how you put your pictures in a star. Next time try to explain some of your hero values so we know more about them. E noho ra (bye).
ReplyDeleteKia ora Rimu. I'm Stanley I'm from Mamaku Hub Grey Main School. You have a lot of children in your class. I like how you made all your children a picture and made a massive star out of all of them. Are you looking forward to do lots of learning with your class?

ReplyDeleteOur class is a really big class called Rimu with year 5-8 that's why my class is a big one and building a tower out of popsicle sticks and marshmallows. If you want to see our towers made out of spaghetti and marshmallows go to our second class post.
