Meet Some Of Our Students

Over the past two week we have been identifying behaviours that represent the Habits of Mind. We know that these behaviours create successful people. We also reliase that we need to always be working on these habits to make sure that they remain a habit and we can transfer them into different situations. So here are some of our goals for the year.

Parent Evening

What a night! Thanks to all the parents that attended the information evening. We are looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you.

Stars at Morning Tea

Hi all

At morning tea I spoted a star and thought I would share it with you. What are your thoughts?

End of Week

Guess What
Digi Donuts had a range of different goals throughout the week. Some were achieved some still need working on.

What
This week was busy with Technology, Buddy Class, Assembly and learning our way around the digital world.

So What
We started to learn the habits of the mind. This will help us to be effective learners as they encourage us to step out of our comfort zones and seek help from others, talk with each other, use what we know to learn new things and know when is the right time to use humour. To name a few.

Now What
Our goals all vary but have a habit of mind that we need to know.

Digi Donuts Recipe to Success

1. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
2. One person talking at a time.
3. Only use my password and don't seek others.
4. Laptops are available from 8.30am as long as Miss Gorrie is in the room.
5. Always use standard English in the classroom and all my school work.
6. Be responsible and encourage others to take on responsibility.
7. Share with our peers and the world, being aware of what we post.
8. Check with Miss Gorrie before I post.
9. Have a laugh and enjoy my time at school.

If I forget an ingredient this is what will happen:

1. No i-play
2. Lunchtime detention 100 lines.
3. Sent to Whaea Maryanne.
4. Meeting with parents/ caregivers, Miss Gorrie, Mr Schmdit or Mrs Mason.

Day 1

An exciting first day. Make a wish for learning was a feature today, with students releasing over 450 balloons into the sky containing their wish for the year. Along with making a wish we were busy discovering what it is to be digitally safe and how we were going to work as a team together.

It is going to be an exciting year!
