We had a fantastic discussion about what good learners DO. What they DON'T, what they SAY and ARE. It was a pretty good discussion and we all seemed to agree on many of these things. Here is a 'scribbley' version of what we talked about.
As with many conversations, the discussion changed topic a little and became more about, why do we need to learn and why do we need to come to school.
I was most impressed about the ideas the Fantastic Four members had on this very philosophical topic.
"Why do we come to school?"
"To have a better life."
I just loved this discussion, Fantastic Room 4
Here is another 'scribble' brainstorm of what we talked about. (Sorry it's on it's side, it's not behaving as it should)
We have been working on creating some borders to hang up in our classroom to make our mark on our room. We learned that we could design our own borders which would replicate the tukutuku panels in a Whare. We first practiced drawing koru shapes that represented our families and also write a pepeha to introduce our families learn some te reo vocab that would accompany our artwork. Here are some students proudly showing their art works.
