This slide is the mahi that I have been doing:



Sources: Miss Waho gave us all the blank template that she created. 

Reflection and Next steps: I am proud of the learning I have done.  I am a little bit nervous about sharing this out loud so I will rehearse what I am going to say.

Be Funky

 Funky Fam

This term we have used Be Funky as a tool to get creative with photos.  For our values task today, Marsali created this photo.  Pretty funky alright.


Positive People

TITLE: Keeping a Positive Attitude



INTRODUCTION:  Tālofa lava.
This week our values focus is Keeping a Positive Attitude.  We created a Google Drawing with us in the centre, surrounded by things we can say or think to ourselves to help keep a positive attitude.  
This is the example that Miss Driver created as a model for our class.

DIGITAL LEARNING OBJECT:

REFLECTION: I think we came up with some really good ways to keep positive in different situations.  We can already see some of the kids in our class, using these ideas.

SOURCES: We found our information from each other and we used our school Values slide for tr Ara Takitini site.  Miss Waho created the template for us and we personalised it.

QUESTION: Do you have any other ideas for how we can stay positive, especially when things get difficult?  Leave your ideas in the comments below.

SMART GOALS

 Reach For The Stars



This term we have created SMART Goals.  We came up with goals for Reading, Writing, Math and one other area.  
To display our goals, we went with the reach for the stars theme.  Because we don't have much wall space, we decided to use our windows and some duraseal.  Here is the start of our class display.
