The Greatest Growth Mindset

In Room 2, we are so proud of Lucas, as he had never been in a pool before today. He did not tell me this until he was in the pool and he said " I thought I would just get in and have a go". Mr Smith worked with Lucas for 10 minutes and you need to watch below for the amazing results. Well done Lucas....YOU ROCK.

SVA Day at Metlifecare

I am so very proud of Room 2 who showed kindness and empathy to all the residents at the Edgewater Metlifecare. We had morning tea with them, did a play, played board games and then helped them to do a Kahoot. The residents had the some beautiful words to say about all the Room 2 students. Well done Room 2. Metlifecare gave the school a Kowhai tree for the school which was so kind.

Classified Hangout

Room 2 had a Google Hangout with a country school somewhere in New Zealand. Both classes could only ask questions that had a Yes or No answer. The race was on to see who could find where the other class was first. We did win but the real learning was in the 20 mins conversation at the end, we connected with a class at Paihia School in the far north, Well done Room 2.

Problem Solving /Leadership Task

Room 2 in groups had the problem of getting Tennis and Table Tennis balls from a desk one and a half meters away from the sofa. They had to make a device in 40 mins to grab the balls in a small time frame of 2 mins. Our WALT for the task was" knowing when to be a leader and when to be a team member. Below are the videos of the teams trying to get the highest score. Enjoy, it is funny.
