So much has been happening lately!
The children are very excited to be starting to harvest our potatoes! They were disappointed to see the foliage wilting and turning yellow (dying) but now they realise that this means they may be ready for harvest. They now wish all the plants could be wilting. Patience.......and then we can have a feast!

Learning Buddies
I am impressed with the progress they have made in many areas. The way they manage themselves during independent learning times makes me feel proud. They have learned to initiate discussions, debate issues, explain their thinking clearly and in various ways, and their academic achievement has increased beyond expectations.
The children have enjoyed, and see the benefits of this type of learning. Here are some of their comments regarding their learning in 2015.
Sometimes
when me and my buddy were talking we both got the same answer but we worked it
out a different way. We explained to
each other about our different ways we discovered. Joshua

When I forgot or was stuck my buddy
always helped me. I felt more relaxed
when I worked with my buddy.

I like working with my buddy because they realise my mistakes. Me and my learningbuddies help each other figure things out. That’s why I want buddies. Hena-C
I like
talking because I learn because my buddy says stuff that I don’t know. There’s nothing I don’t like about working
with buddies.
