Fenix's Undercover Op Diamond Sword

We have been learning about Manaakitanga, then creating Canterbury Digi Award Entries based on our understanding of what Manaakitanga means

Fenix has been in the Learning Pit, trying to find the right transition speed for his slides. He began with the preset 1000, then found that 100 was too fast. He tried 200, 300, 150... then settled on 205.

Have a look and see whether you think he has found the right speed? Does it still hold your interest, while making it easy to read the text?

Be sure to tell Fenix what you think of it by commenting on his Blogpost!

Rams first visit

Marques Whippy and Quinn Clinton, from the Canterbury Rams, came to teach us some basketball skills today. It was a great way to put our new basketball hoop into action. 

It was also an opportunity to show manaakitanga to our special visitors. 

Some of the skills were pretty tricky!

Everyone showed great attitudes by joining in and giving it a go!

Responsibility

"Say what you do, Do what you say, Be responsible every single day."

Today, we had the lovely Karla, alongside Katie, instead of Reece.

We have to go things for yourself rather than rely on other people to do it for you. 

Responsibility means telling the truth and taking responsibility for the things you do. 

At home I'm responsible for:

Tidying the house, making my bed, looking after my pet.

In my classroom, I need to be responsible for:

Looking after our devices (chrome books & iPads); putting the chairs down in the morning; doing our work; so that we can advance in life; your own things. 

We played "Bop It"

Bop it

Pull it

Twist it

Spin it

Jump it 

We showed fantastic attitudes this week!

Bop it!

We earned 18/20 for Respect points this week!

Wacky day

It's all a little crazy today... Wacky Day!

A bit of bling... some fluro... odd shoes... even a Captain Underpants!

Integrity

Honesty is the way to be, just try it out and you will see... 

We talked about how we can show honesty in our everyday lives.

We played a game with the Ripa tags. We had to show integrity by not goose guarding and doing the right thing by giving it back. 

We had a few problems because some weren't showing integrity.
