Wearable Arts

In room 12 we have been collecting knitting wool to make our wearable arts, we are starting in Room12.
We are doing wearable arts to raise money for the trip in room 12, which will be for our incentive day to go to Porirua pools next term.
We are hoping to show our items in the assembly or somewhere else public for others to see.
Everybody in room 12 must have at least one ball of wool.

Three way conferences

Last night the school held parent interviews. However, in room 12 we did our interviews in a three way conference. This involved the students sharing their learning with their parents, using their learning portfolios to support them.
Parents commented on how well their children did, and that they enjoyed hearing their children talking about their learning. Mr Madge's role was to be there and offer support if needed. As it was, the students did a great job, and he had very little to do.
Well done room 12, you did a great job.

Back to school

It was great to see the students back at school. Pupils in room 12 were eager to get back in to working hard. We have been learning about the five Key Competencies. We identified what we think they look like. Our next learning step is to identify what the key competenices look like in the classroom.
