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.

Teach Me Tuesday Week 4

Our second to last Teach Me Tuesday saw Jordan teaching us how to make pop-out mouth cards and Nikita teaching us how to draw a tiki. Jordan was very patient helping everyone to fold their paper correctly and Nikita did a great job drawing each part of the tiki step by step. Well done guys!

Comic Genius!

What great fun we had on Friday reading the comics some Room 17 students did.  Some students drew their own and some used websites like Make Belief Comix. All in all we had a good giggle reading the different stories each comic told. 

Little Chefs

For homework this week we practiced our cooking skills. Check out Nikita's pizza.  It looks delicious! Olivia made herself some toast. Great cooking skills girls.  Jake takes his cooking one step further. He makes food for the men at his dad's work and they buy it from him. He uses this money to buy things he wants.  

So who located the most places on the NZ Map?

Last weeks Hands-on Homework was to locate the major cities and other places that were special on a map of NZ.  I challenged Room 17 by asking them who could add the most places to their NZ map.  Well done to our top boy and girl!  Jordan got 38 and Nikita got 37!

Did you hear we've got a new name?

It was so much fun on Friday finding out all our new community names! The Tio whanau is now known as The Biggles. A big congrats to Brydie (R20) Holly and Timothy (R19) and our very own Nikita for coming up with the winning name.  I can biggle it, can you biggle it?
