Me Bags

'Me Bags' Oral Presentations

Our homework challenge for Week 3 was to create a 'Me Bag' of ourselves. We had to find 5 items at home that helped describe ourselves. We presented these to our class.

This was a great way to introduce ourselves and learn more about each other.

Here are some photos of us presenting our 'Me Bags':

Green Thinking Hat

We are learning about De Bono's 6 Thinking Hats

The 6 Thinking Hats help us think in new and different ways.

The Green Thinking Hat = Creativity

What new ideas are possible?

Oops Miss Hill dropped a splot of paint! Because we like to recycle and reuse Miss Hill asked us to create a picture using that paint splot. We did one on Thursday and because we look at different possibilities with the Green Hat, we did it again on Friday! Miss Hill was very impressed with all our different drawings and what we created. 

Here is what we created:

           

Working in Groups

We are learning to work with other children in groups. In literacy we are writing about the beach. In our groups we wrote a list of nouns of things we found at the beach.

To successfully work in a group we need to:

help each other if we need it

share ideas

listen to each other

stay focused on what you are meant to be doing

Here are some photos of us working in groups. As a class we reflected on how we went to day:

We went well today. We listened to each others ideas. We got lots of ideas. We helped each other.













We had a few problems. We did not always listen to ideas and we were not paying attention the whole time.

We stopped and told each other we needed to focus. We then worked together well and completed our work.










We went well. We had a lot of ideas. We worked together to help each other with spelling.

We went well. We came up with good ideas together. When one person came up with an idea we talked about it and decided together. We listened to each other.










Our group went well. We listened to each others ideas. When two people said an idea we decided together.













We all worked together in a good way. We all shared good ideas. We helped each other with spelling and words.

Black and Yellow Thinking Hats

We are learning about De Bono's 6 Thinking Hats

The 6 Thinking Hats help us think in new and different ways.

The Yellow Hat = Benefits

What are the good points?

The Black Hat = Judgement

What is wrong with this.

We read a story called 'Bones on the Mend' from Junior Journal 23.

We used our Black and Yellow Thinking Hats and shared 'good' and 'bad' points about having a broken bone.

Here are some of our ideas:

*you might get some extra treats

*you get a couple of days off school

*you can watch lots of tv

*you might not have to do writing

*it gets itchy

*you can't go swimming

*you can't play on the monkey bars

*it hurts

Softball Skills- Week 4

We had our first softball session with Grant Hastings.  

It was raining outside so we had to go in the hall.

In this session we learnt:

-how to use crocodile hands to catch the ball

-to say "thumb down, make an L" to our buddy so they are ready to catch the ball

-to look at our buddy's hands, this helped us aim where to throw.
