Celebrations (Week 2!)

To continue with our Celebrations inquiry, we talked about celebrating ourselves..

Celebrating ourselves I hear you say... what???

Yes, we are worth celebrating!

We are smart, beautiful, hard-working students and deserve to be acknowledged.

On Tuesday, we brainstormed words that describe people...

We took photos of ourselves like this...

On Wednesday,  we printed the photos, cut out our heads and glued them onto a piece of paper.

We laid them out all around the classroom and took turns at each persons paper, thinking hard and writing something nice about that person.. something worth celebrating!

Here is what we came up with..

These are just a few.. to see every bodies pictures, click here.

It was so nice to see what other people thought about us. A lot of kids said things like 'I don't think I am (.....) but somebody said I am.. maybe I am (.....)?', 'I'm surprised that somebody wrote I am (.....)', 'I'm happy that somebody wrote I am (.....) because I have been trying very hard at that'.

The main point of this activity was for all of us to realise they have something about them that is worth celebrating! 

Term 4 Kiwisport (Week 2)

This week we started Kiwisport again - this term we are learning about basketball.

Lots of us love playing basketball, so we are excited to learn tips and tricks to play better (and to play properly!).

Here are some snippets of us at Kiwi sport on Monday.

How do you think we did? Did you learn anything new? Do you have any advice for us?

We would love to hear from you!

School Values

We started this term by revisiting our school values. We made sure that we remembered and reflected on how we used our values during the day. At the end of the day this is what Room 6 students had to share...

Celebrations! (Week 1)

This week we talked about things that we celebrate. This was the beginning of our inquiry unit into 'Celebrating Me'.

During the week, we brainstormed all the celebrations we know about..

Next, we had to chose one we thought we knew the most about. We had to show/explain what we know about it. We could draw, write, anything.

Next, we had to explain about our celebration.

What is it? 

Why do you celebrate it?

What do you do for it - do you eat/go/wear/do anything special?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
