THE GREAT DEBATE!

FUN! We held a debate in class on Tuesday about changing the flag, as we were holding a student referendum as part of a nation-wide schools initiative. We split into groups based on our personal choice, then thought of as many reasons as we could for our side and thought up some counter arguments we thought the opposition might raise. Then we held the debate!
Overall the kiddos really enjoyed the debate and asked if we could hold another one (whether or not Donald Trump should be President or not was one of the many suggested topics!) We then filled in a P.M.I to evaluate our learning...great job Room 4!

Seesaw and PEDMAS by Jordan, Mabel and their assistant Sophie

Just had to share this voluntary Seesaw entry during 10mins free time :) Made my whole weekend when I got to the dedication/"shout out" at the end :)

Hockey Week 10!

 This week we have been lucky enough to have been given some top tips during Hockey lessons. Here are some pictures of the lessons.

Quote of the week!

Every week this Term (and for the rest of the year) I will write a quote on the welcome board that sits outside our classroom. During reading, we discuss what we think this quote means, and discuss an example of where this might apply in life. Interpreting these quotes is great for our reading comprehension and we can use these in our writing too!

Pro8 Challenge

Congratulations to Tyler, Jordan, Alex, Cody, Kalel, Rico, Cam and Josh Louth for completing the Epro8 Challenge at Monrad Intermediate last week! It was a late night (finished at 9pm!) but all teams had fun and I was very proud of how well you worked together as a team :) Next year we will have a better chance now that we know what kind of equipment we get and the types of challenges we will face...look out Palmy North schools! We're coming for you next year!

Seesaw Learning...What are we learning in Maths at the moment???

Here are some Seesaw entries from the amazing new app we've been using to document and discuss our learning. Here are a few entries (please disregard the camera skills, this is not as important as the learning being discussed ;) Thanks to Casey, Teigan, Cody and Kalel for giving their permission to share their learning!
