Week 1 Over Already!

This week we did a lot of thinking about what kind of learners we want to be this year.  In groups we came up with ideas for our class Essential Agreement.  Common themes of these documents were;

• being responsible and inspiring role models to each other and the younger years
• trying hard and being focused in our learning
• listening to each other with respect
• accepting and learning from our own and others' mistakes
• leaving a legacy of honesty and kindness both in our learning and in the playground.

The photos below include collaborative maths learning, brainstorming in science, quiet reading time, a group spelling activity and our first session learning some Lion King songs in the Music room.  In the spirit of encouraging the students to 'have a go' at auditioning, Mr Young put Mrs Burt, Mrs Ward and Mr Scott on the spot to act out a part of the Lion King script - and I just happened to catch it on video.  I hope you enjoy it as much as the students did.
