Our lucky last Breakers session was today and it was definitely one of the best. Loads of fun games were played today and watching the enjoyment on the children's faces throughout the lesson was a real highlight.
Today in Inquiry, we looked at 'The Learning Pit'. We love the learning pit as a toll because it shows us that it's ok to struggle with our learning, that it's natural that some things are harder to learn than others, it's ok to seek help in our learning. By going through this process our learning is deeper and more meaningful and we will be more successful. As a class we talked about there are different stages when learning something new.

Last week we went and saw our buddy class. This week our focus was on Reading. Room 32 had set out their goals for the lesson and what they wanted to achieve.

Today our Year 6 Syndicate got to 'walk in the shoes of a Marina View Intermediate Student'. All the children will have the opportunity to participate in a range of exciting learning activities to give them a chance to experience what it will be like in our Intermediate department next year. Room 21 split up into our two teams and went to either 3D Printing and Te Reo Maori or Physical Education and 3D Printing. The date of our next transition is to be confirmed, but the children will experience activities such as Science, Dance, Mandarin and Food Technology.
