Term 3 Reflection


Wow, what another super busy term!  I can’t believe how much we have crammed into this short term. 

Highlights:
·         Gymsport competition
·         Cross country
·         Pastel art
·         QR codes
·         Cultural Evening
·         Speeches
·         Children finding out more about their personal identity
Goals for term 4:

·         Have a go with Movie maker.  This was something I wanted to trial this term, but there just wasn’t enough time.  I’m thinking that I will use this to show our learning in either reading or in for our science learning in kitchen chemistry.

·         Start looking and my year 5’s and give them opportunities to take on leadership roles in our room

·         RP: this hasn’t been consistent and timetabled due to pressures and so much going on.  I want this to a non negotiable for next term for a couple of reasons.  Firstly because they are a great way for my class to bond, and secondly due to the nature of term 4 i think it will be essential to have time at least once a week for us to gather and remind each other about why we are such as strong team.

    What a lot to fit into a 9 week term! You guys surely have been busy bees. I am also looking forward to watching my year 5's evolve and take on roles that may challenge them, but also make them realise their leadership potential.

    I have a couple of groups working on iMovie trailers (just like the trailers at the start of a movie) for their book reviews. We could buddy up and create some experts to teach the other class members. What do you think?

    I agree RP needs to be a timetabled thing each week. My class love our circle times, they enjoy sharing their solutions to issues and learning through the stop think do manual. I love the idea of a "time in" so I'm thinking I will call the problems part of our circles "the time ins".
