Collaborative Reflection

This term we have been doing a lot of learning around Heroes. So far, Room 5 and 6 have covered the two topics of "Ourselves as Heroes" and "Personal Heroes". 

For a collaborative task this week the children had to add something they had learnt so far about Heroes to a Padlet. A Padlet is a collaborative tool where we can go to share ideas, our learning and reflect.

Check out our first go at using Padlet.

Sam Dickson

On Tuesday, Sam Dickson came to visit us. He is a famous New Zealand rugby 7s player. We spent the morning before school finding out about him so we were prepared and then we thought of some questions to ask him. We tried to think of some questions related to our hero topic for inquiry as well.

Sam passed around his medals for the kids to have a look at too. Here is Cameron B from the Room 56 learning space having a look. How cool!!

They were hard to all fit in so we had to take another one!

Our Kapa Haka boys performed their haka they had been learning as well. Sam really enjoyed it.

Some of the boys had a chat with him afterwards. They asked him to ref them playing rugby at lunch time but Sam has an injured knee so couldn't.
