Give a little...
We've been focussing a lot on kindness this year. During Circle Time we decided rather than bringing in gifts for another this year (because we felt we had enough 'stuff') we would donate something to someone in need. We discussed a few different options and then voted! We chose to bring in food to send to the Auckland City Mission. We did a pretty good job and collected a few boxes worth! Thanks to everyone who bought something in.

Movement Books
Room 17 have been working hard over the last few weeks to create 'moving books. We worked with a partner to create a book that had moving parts - pop-up, lift the flap or pull tabs. Our goal was to write a book for someone aged between 1-3. Some students are making hard copies and some students worked on Zooburst. Our first book is finished!! Here's Zach and Zander's book about bugs.

End of School Year Reflections
Our final Hands-On-Homework for 2014 was to fill out an end of year reflections. It was such a pleasure to read these and I'm amazed at how thoughtful the comments were. I have picked out all the key words and made some wordles. The first one is all the answers from the following questions:
- My favourite activity this year and why
- I had the most fun when
- What I liked most about my class and teacher
- What I'll miss the most and why
- Things I learned the most this year
The bigger the word, the more students that choose that as an answer. Thank you to all the students that completed their reflections!
Another question was for students to give a piece of advice to students for next year.
