Out and About in Week 7

During Week 7 we had the Makuhari students in class sharing their English and Maths skills, then they showed us origami. On Friday M.I.S. had a Project Energize day which involved a whole day of sport and learning new games, plus a session on Take Aways.

Please comment on your favourite activity by using a complex sentence 
and 
what you learnt from the 'Take Aways' session.

Below is Mrs Armstrong's Hei Mihi

I am looking forward to Room 1's using their creative flair to design their own Hei Mihi or Pepeha.

5 Steps to Awesome - Hei Mihi

'5 Steps To Awesome' is a personal journey for Room 1 learners to embrace who they are and were they have come from...


Ko Au - If you know who you are and where you are from,
you will know where you are going?

Creating a Hei Mihi or Pepeha (official version for Maori students) is the start of the process.

Read to Self


Room 1 discussed this Dr Seuss quote last week
and we all agree this quote was an excellent link to our daily earning.

We are setting up in class Read to Self and these seven messages are important.

• Reading books is important.
• Reading is something anyone can do.
• Reading is communicating with an author.
• Children are capable of sustained thought.
• Books are meant to be read in large sections.
• The teacher believes that the pupils are comprehending
• The teacher trusts the children to decide when something is well
  written, when something important has been read.
 
Comment on how important reading is for you and your learning.
(Mrs Armstrong is hoping we all post a comment this week)
