Term 3

Candidate Teacher:  We are fortunate to have Mr James Bailey to assist in our class for the next 3 weeks.

Our Habits of Mind foci this term are Thinking Interdependently and Gathering Data using the 5 Senses.

       We are focussing on articulating our thinking more clearly to learning buddies.  We have prompt cards to

        help us think of new ideas and this is proving very effective.  As a follow up at home you could expect your child to justify their thinking by using the word ‘because’ and to add detail to their discussions with you.  

       This is a good habit to develop and will ensure our learning accelerates.  For some people this feels a little  uncomfortable, but our best learning is done if there is a challenge that is overcome.  In our Garden to Table 

       Technology unit we will certainly be using our 5 senses as we develop new ideas with food.

“Success depends above all, upon people.
Build relationships, teams, partnerships — and motivate people to contribute.
Cultivate leadership, creativity, excellence. Listen; seek new ideas and advice. ”
