This week was an interesting and fast paced week! The week began regularly but had many interesting events and activities for the students to enjoy hidden within!
The first activity which was enjoyed by the whole junior school was the return of the Christchurch City Libraries interactive team. Their presence brought a smile to many of the students faces and it was clear that their roadshow will be a great success in the years to follow! We were read two stories with interactive participation from both readers and the students.
This week Room 7 was visited by a guest teacher who began to teach us about peace activities which we could practice at home and at school. These activities included; breathing exercises, changing our posture, and even changing our position in the classroom (or at home)! Part of this lesson was about looking at the 'feelings round-a-bout'. This suggests strategies to deal with difficult situations and how students might manage their feelings around these.
On Friday Room 7 was lucky enough to catch up with our Room 2 buddies. The students of Room 7 try to set the best example for these students around how Linwood North learners behave. This week we learned about Harry and his friends. Harry is a little 'fluff-ball' who helps the students show they are Linwood North learners. He keeps an eye out for the right behaviours in class. Room 7 and our buddies designed perches for our Harry so he could watch over the classroom easier!
Finally, Room 7 students have all been provided with a reading folder, a homework book, and a home learning challenges book. These books should be visiting home regularly and are due back each Friday to check over, and for the students to earn house-points! If there are any questions or concerns regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me!
